[Milsurplus] Blood n Guts

[C.Whitaker]

Patton was a real bastard.
Him and his two pearl-handled .45 revolvers.
He didn't die a natural death, did he?
Good thing Eisenhower stopped him from
going into Eastern Europe.  Austria was as
far as he got.   Eisenhower cut off the fuel
for the tanks and vehicles.
I suppose you have heard how Patton killed
the farmer's horse on the bridge.
And how the troops in the Third Army couldn't
take off their shirts, or roll up their shirt sleeves,
while outside the barracks.
Clete   (USAF Retired).
