A General Trend

And, then, of course, there's Bradley Hadley. Talk about a son-of-gun who won't stop at anything. This, I'm saying, in that, damn it, this plugger actually had the audacity/temerity to drag out George S. Patton, for Christ! Let's see, what was the frigging quote (he might have been paraphrasing) he used? Oh, yeah, "in order to win wars you need to shoot down the enemy and make the enemy P.O.W.s, not get shot down or crash and become a P.O.W. yourself."..........................................Hm, talk about some convenience, huh - a quote by Patton that makes it seem as if being a P.O.W. (enter John McCain, of course) is maybe something less than we previously thought it was? Interesting...........................................Of course, as long we're citing Patton here, it makes me wonder, does Mr. Hadley have as well a grip on this particular General's views on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (it was called shell-shock back then, I believe)? I mean, could it be that he didn't know how Patton basically thought that people suffering from this affliction were wussies, that they should either be thrown back into the conflict....or court-marshalled - period? Kind of hard to tell..........................................Bottom-line, folks, let's just say that the random quoting of old soldiers like this, it's very similar to quoting the Bible....or the Koran. It's best not to get into the habit of it.
