  1. Sometimes as a historian. A layman is watching thinking, I can't believe this really happened. I'm watching as a historian and seeing the inversion of his fascist salute. Since he is neither the fuhrer of Germany or the first citizen of Rome. I would be interested to ask where he got off thinking he made it that far with 10000 people.

  2. Patton famously quoted what Lincoln said about grant with his driver. I can't lose this man. He fights.

  3. Simon, I just realized by covering this man. You provided great historical example to the folly of just saying boy, there's a lot of simpletons in that crowd. Why not just tell them what they want to hear and win/profit from it.

  4.  @cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647  it is a great wish that DNA catches up to all these men as it has even the most dexter of serial killers. The only reason we know is bc the us assassin involved got dementia and forgot he wasn't supposed to tell that tale.
    2
  5.  @cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647  and the man actually did assassinate people for what would become the cia in ww2.

  6. Drinking don't make you not see a gigantic limo coming your way on a flat open stretch of road unless you've been given a ruffie and just passed out. But considering they had potheads raping people, it was an easy story to feed the press.

  7. The most important thing that nobody points out. He is the only person with a male genitalia since 1900 on lets say. To use a large amount of wealth to put themselves in a large amount of uncontrollable danger. Instead of maintaining a pile of extreme wealth to do the opposite.
    2
  8. I think its important for historians to point out to the regular folk that don't understand. The popular sentiment at the beggining of the second(really 5th) world War was that Japan had super soldiers that had developed a language in bird to communicate with each other in the jungle. Germans were super soldiers who were going to curb stomp anybody who tried to stop them. Modern day isn't made to understand how the vegas odds were stacked going into the war. Both Henry Ford and Howard Hughes wrote fdr letter calling him a fool who would soon be conquered for not siding with the axis.

  9. My personal belief is the later as this man's mind was sharp enough to be a pro painter, pro boxer and pro assassin all in one life.

  10. He jumped out and hugged the English soil because that was him acknowledging that homosexuals were not constituted for long boat trips.
    1
  11. Or be Bernard Montgomery i should add. According to his own memoirs.
    1
  12. Or apparently this Arnold rival is on the list as well.
    1
  13. And its obvious he did it when he got cheated out of his dream job. We've heard that song and dance with previous traitors of the NSA to Russia. Go biographics it.

  14. Jesse owens can take comfort in knowing that hitlers personal hero. Pattons personal hero. Montgomerys personal hero. To the point all of these men had portraits of him would be fried rich the great. Who they just thought was a really awesome animated brilliant mind was a gay man in hiding in history. The original real life tyrion lannister. Except gay instead of short.
    1
  15. Patton produced Abrams. Eisenhower produced fredendall and Clark. Hey you should go roll up on the enemy in your fredendall and clark tanks. You get my drift.
    1
  16. Everybody get your minds out of the gutters. I'm sure she was his Joan of arc. After all. Eisenhower sounds extremely French.
    1
  17. Let me ask you this. Lets move on 80 years down the line to ww2. Do you think Eisenhower gave Patton the first black driver ever to be progressive and because he thought it would be the missing thing and crack the German lines. Or do you think he did it because he knew his friend was a child of confederates and he was trying to provide him with handicap? Do you think Eisenhower knew that the guy he selected would drive Patton anywhere. Well I would start looking at personal driver selection for those answers as to what made him tick. Women and me number 1.
    1
  18. Leave out 2. He didn't have a little bit of an ego. Read his diaries. He was straight counting to 4 on the battlefield confused like p mahomes. He knew he would be compared to stonewall Jackson and go down as a genius and he rightfully hated most of allied command. So he took the moment to step off the podium and kick cow manure on his fellow generals. He says. I know my actions will be studied at west point for years to come. I know I will be called a genius. It was competent soldiering. Put amongst sheer incompetence, I'm sure it does look pretty genius.
    1
  19. Now if Lincoln wouldve been half the freedom fighter hes been turned into, he would be in a picture of a pine box with coins over both eyes, just like Billy the kid. I hope I've helped you to understand this.
    1
  20. Heres the truth of the matter. Francis Ford Coppola has admitted trying to appeal to dual audiences in the 70s with this movie and taking some historical liberties to do it. On one hand. He wanted to paint Patton as a hero for the old fashioned movie goer. He wanted to paint Patton as a tyrant for the hippie war is bad movie goer. More historical liberties were taken to make him look tyrannical than had to be stretched on the pro side of things.
    1
  21. Omar Bradley. A tee totaler who did not like Patton for simply drinking alcohol or cussing in front of the men, almost was brought to cussing the British in his diary. He basically spent this part of the war constantly complaining to Patton who he knew felt like him about the British getting their way. Then turning around and playing goebbels to Eisenhower. Thats how you put yourself into a job meant for another man.
    1
  22. Patton was ordered not to take a town he had already taken. He wasn't allowed to say f%$* you to Eisenhower. Although I believe it was probably justified at this point. He had to ask the good general to clarify his orders. Should he give the town back to the germans, sir?
    1
  23. It was a time of go republican or go Democrat politics. With high amounts of hate and trying to do anything to spite the other side. Black folks, like historys cat, got their 9th and best life from this drama. Not bc of anti racial sentiment. The same passion that makes a modern day republican carry a 150 old Democrat flag to a republican coup. While the democrats scream get that racist symbol that belongs to us out of here. Only in America. That boxing promoter had it right all along.
    1
  24. You traded much national security to basically avenge an old wrong perpetrated and had no clue what you were doing. Just thought you were contributing to peace....man.
    1
  25. So I just have to point out. Bernard Montgomery didn't have his car tires shot out and dragged into a barn because of Otto skorzeny. Bernard Montgomery got jammed up because brave men tired of watching him hog all the gas to sit.
    1
  26. Yes you poor poor anime fool. If you wouldve bothered. Stalin killed 4x the numbers of hitler. Than suppressed it. And let them cry on the streets at his death. Its a great place and you did good to sell out.
    1
  27. That was after he tried to carve out the world with hitler, hitler kicked him out of bed. And he brought 15 million peasants to the allies as "im sorry, so sorry" roses. You did good kid. Thats why for every hour of anime. 2 should be devoted to non "no child left behind" world history.
    1
  28. Interestingly enough if you watch the credits to the Patton movie. The main historical consultant for the movie is Omar Bradley.
    1
  29. You also have to only go to the Patton diaries to hear that this german army is much better trained and much more prepared for battle than my Americans. But he could also tell that they had horribly overextended and due to that was in a position to not do much about anything. He stated. It will give you a false sense of your abilities and they will call me a genius general. No. They were better. Just overextended.
    1
  30. You know. But for the first part of this video, I really liked this guy. Throw forgiveness from the religion. Lets bring in honor as more a bucket of water. But. No. No. Lets start a harem. Apparently he gets a lifetime supply of excesses with his package.
    1
  31. Also in regards to the Eisenhower letter. Every man thats ever attended west point ever and graduated is prepared to write and deliver that same letter. Robert e Lee had to after Gettysburg.
    1
  32. If he makes good pr for that time and place. Even if those ideas about him aren't 100 percent truthful, sure he will. Lincoln has already proved that Michael scotts don't just exist in a fictional Scranton.
    1
  33. No reporter ever accused Grant of drinking during a battle. It was the disappearing acts he would pull.
    1
  34. And that girlfriend of his just needs some acne cream. Didn't have to get with an anime watcher. Theres surgery girl.
    1
  35. A couple corrections here or just things left out. I will be listing them as I come across them. Leave out 1. When talking about kasserine pass. You referred to llyod fredendall as a sacked commander. This is false. Firstly. He was ikes best friend. So no sacking happened. He was sent back to train soldiers. He put an entire engineering Corp to work building a gigantic hitlerian bunker 80 miles behind front line and sat in it. The germans had cut all communications to the outside. Patton was brought forth as replacement bc of the shameful display of preserving ones own life because he had been known as the opposite. Would take foolish risks to remain up front.
    1
  36. I will just conclude the whole sad affair by saying that its sad we saved a tree from being cut out of eisenhowers way. But not the true factual Jesus to every American. Everywhere.
    1
  37. Yep good old Omar Brutus Bradley and dwight I'm washington Jr Eisenhower.
    1
  38. That's how you f^#^@ up in you know doc browns real space time continuum. But what is his name bakuya and he shoots fireballs from his hands. Lets get into something you obviously have more knowledge than my less about. And I've never been courted by any government agency. Theres the flaw here.
    1
  39. Presidency. I've always just heard generals do not make politicians as they learn to be too trusting getting them wrapped up in scandal. I've only ever heard of copying the fuhrers highways bc of transport difficulties as an ordinance officer. And the numerous scandals like the grant presidency that he became involved in. I also heard he was not in the business of giving up white male power. To anybody.
    1
  40. Who are the 2 failingest generals at what Patton called the easiest war of the century? That would of course be lloyd fedendall and mark Clark. Who were eisenhowers best buds? Yeah. Great general.
    1
  41. All of these are very true facts. I learned most of them from both patton and eisenhowers military historian. Carlo D'Este. Not obviously murder. But he will go so far as to seriously fanboy Patton.
    1
  42. Let me tell you another story about a bunch of racist generals. Named George and dwight and pretty much all the rest. Now one, had confederate grandparents. And one got put in charge. Driver selection. For the confederate general he chooses the world's first black driver of an America General. For himself. I select a first as well. A young 20 year old single British woman. It turned out to be a stroke of genius as the black man was the one of the most capable drivers Patton had ever had. I'm sure dwight knew in his deep ingrained racism, that if he just did that. He would create a super team. While making sure he was never bored whilst driving as his reward for his foresight and ability to break racism and not playing a sandbag on a rival. Just like booth knew he created a rich black man in 100 years the day he shot Lincoln. Instead of being shipped the the 3rd world to do what 3rd world's do. Mostly not eat.
    1
  43. He figured if us grant can dissappear and go drink in a war. So can my black driver if he's doing his job the rest of the time. That was the kind of man Patton was. Allied command tried to force rubbers on soldiers. Patton told his just to have helmets on and knees out the dirt. We should all aspire to be like him.
    1
  44. Patton was ned stark basically. And his head ended up on a pike. Who put it there and why certain friends didn't show to pallbear are my big questions you didn't answer.
    1
  45. But at the end of the day its becoming a victor or victim to history by making choices. For example. Lincoln shared about the popularity trump does now in his time. So could trump be looked at as a hero for losing washington entirely and exposing liberals who had gone to far both in time and money to fulfill the promises they have made off the back of 2 republican conquerors name George Patton and Douglass MacArthur. Who knows?
    1
  46. Also the rivalry with Montgomery has been over emphasized due to the movie. The men actually got on better than history gives them credit. Montgomery would host lavish high command planning parties and Patton would be the only senior American to show up. There was some bitterness about Sicily planning. But Patton was being hoodwinked by his then underling Omar Bradley. Omar would get Patton gassed up about the brits knowing that pattons mouth would get him into trouble. The man who was truly an anglophobe in hiding was Omar Bradley. One glance at his diary confirms this.
    1
  47. And get that flag that basically is representing everything that is the opposite of the trump/Lincoln coup out of the capital building. Its racist. Its YOUR flag. Not racist at all. It was a flag defending democracy which got defeated and has been whitewashed to be the bad flag when we wouldn't have a flag if we had to get rid of representations of any racist in history. An invisible flag. Everyone is in the America's fighting over the wealth of a truly racist man who was taught a valuable lesson by God in ww2 which broke him of the habit. So get rid of your money. A racist got you that.
    1
  48. A man so racist. He disowned his famous frontiersman grandpa that gave him his stature and endurance for ww2 because the man was Hispanic.
    1
  49. Then it's simply getting a picture of pattons funeral. Observing who wasn't in attendance for it. And realizing which group was life long enemies and which group was a supposed friend. Very simply. Patton was too successful. Patton wouldve been insisted the presidency. He had to go.
    1
  50. Another fun fact. After every allied general being ordered to dispense condems and ordering their troops to wear them during fraternization. Patton sent them to his troops with a msg. During your free time, I don't care what you do, as long as your helmet is on, and your knees are out of the dirt.
    1
  51. And what we always fondly say about Lincoln to travel down easy street. He was bad at politics and didn't understand the job of president. But he was also some sort of be all end all magically wizard who knew all along what we needed better than we were able to demonstrate through the democratic process.
    1
  52. Both Abraham and Mary Lincoln as well as the grants and all else were in very good with this law I speak of. Probably not freedom fighters. As much as cersei lannister is one.
    1
  53. You might get Rick Atkinson to nod approval to the back patting generals of that war. Every other what is considered major historian of that war agrees that ernie Pyle decided who got to pat backs based on your perceived attitude towards him. He didn't like to wear a helmet. Eisenhower and Bradley wouldve agreed. He was allowed to not wear a helmet. He died in the pacific of a bullet to the brain not doing what he vilified Patton for trying to order him to do. Wear a helmet.

  54.  @BasementEngineer  typical small arms combat range in war is 3 football fields. I wish I could say you are completely wrong. But if you let the enemy get close. You are right. But this is beside the point of making modern day America think a bunch of backpatters did something while an a$$hole ran around and was mean to everyone for absolutely no reason.
    1
  55.  @BasementEngineer  I can show you dents in helmets that were bullets. So that is incorrect info and all that Google bs is talking about if you creep up behind someone with that weapon. Put it square up to their helmeted head and pull the trigger. Google stands correct.
    1
  56. If there behind you with a gun squarely to your head. The war was lost before you got started.
    1
  57.  @BasementEngineer  basement engineer. I could kiss you sir. I just discovered that the world supposed foremost expert on this Charleton is a history professor at the college I work at. Small world. And we will see who has a PHD based off a Francis Ford Coppola movie written by Omar Bradley. And who's going to prove PhDs are captured like flags. Not earned.
    1
  58. Here's where i need your help though. Do I attack this man with Ladislas Farago? Do I use Patton and eisenhowers actual military historian, Carlos d'este? Or do I pull a skip Bayless and start war analysis and casualty count?
    1
  59.  @BasementEngineer  each method is so "I win" without the others. I can't decide between.
    1
  60. When you have to take someone phd bc they watched a Francis Ford Coppola movie and nobody else bothered and he seems pretty smart. So that's how it happened.
    1
  61. Or the 4th forgotten method. The German that was there. The old horses mouth. Which one engineer?
    1
  62. Oh by the way. Google ernie Pyle death photo. In the end. He listened. And you were right.
    1
  63. On that particular ballistics example.
    1
  64. What's your big problem with Patton Brad. I'm a Christian teetotaler and he cusses and drinks. Ok well. Prepare to not like modern society Brad.
    1
  65.  @BasementEngineer  it looks to me like he caught it right below the helmet but the placement makes it hard to judge. A left temple can become exposed in a poorly positioned helmet on a head.
    1
  66. Or as I can imagine more likely. Trying to quickly get one on when you weren't wearing it and get caught by a machine gun nest ambush.
    1
  67. Bottom line Ernest Pyle was a millenial 80 years ahead of his time with no cellphone. His steel helmet was too hot and heavy and sweaty to wear. Just like a millenial. Patton is running around the desert with a 104 degree temp but yeah ernie. We get it. Problem is. If he gets his cellphone. There is no master of info. People wouldve been. And Patton wouldn't have this problem.
    1
  68. The essential error of both Mauldin and Pyle was to assume Patton came out of his mothers womb with 4 stars and hadn't taken bullets himself in the leg with orders.
    1
  69. Which is essentially the real story behind both Clark and fredendall. Eisenhowers besties and failures both. But not according to ernie.
    1
  70. That is why napoleon told a young lieutenant to participate in about 20 battles and survive before becoming an expert to all.
    1
  71. Eisenhower and Clark took massive jumps thanks to Marshall and Eisenhower. Patton earned every star. But Pyle forgets that with all the dine and wine.
    1
  72. I have to double thank you. You made me realize the dumba$$ listened at the last minute of his life. And history can be rectified locally. Thank you. Thank you.
    1
  73. Professor Tobin can cry to Rick Atkinson, and the ghosts of Pyle Eisenhower Bradley and beedle when I usurp that phd. An iron price phd folks.
    1
  74. He's lucky there weren't injuns(I am one) around like Custer. You would see arrows sticking out of his ears so he could more clearly hear Patton advice.
    1
  75. In the afterlife of course.
    1
  76. And next time you let a good mild mannered general make a movie about an out of control bad one. Open up their diary and read. I know what both say.
    1
  77. The custom of the time for the good mild mannered generals was to brown nose the heck out of their boss. But not to that diary when I get home boy. Not there. Check it out.
    1
  78.  @BasementEngineer  I read the same thing on Google when you questioned me. Not at a distance and at the wrong angle it will not. It will save your life. There are plenty of men who can tell you they took a rifle bullet into the helmet at a distance. And survived concussed or with a headache. I would compare what you're talking about to wearing seabelts. 9 time out of 10. It was smart. There is a 10th time where it didn't work or caused death. They don't rip seatbelts out bc of the 10th time.
    1
  79.  @BasementEngineer  you're not going to get me to believe from that photo...that Ernest Pyle. Known for his hatred of helmets. Had that helmet strapped on like George patton would when he took off that day. And so I can have no way of knowing how correctly it was applied during the ambush and sticking his head up.
    1
  80. I want everyone to remember this. Before Pattons skill was ever allowed to one up ANYBODY. He babysitted a Moroccan sultan and the backpatters got to try theirs. He had to come in and save FUBAR.
    1
  81. I want everyone to remember that if war was analyzed like a modern sport. It gers extremely farcical. People like Rik Smits being compared to people like wilt Chamberlain with similar basketball to war stats.
    1
  82. But engineer. The Stat that really takes the wind out of your sailboat here. Is the double casualty rates for every other allied general. Are you suggesting magic helmets for 2nd, 7th and 3rd armies?
    1
  83. And the magic in 2nds helmets was only activated at the arrival of patton?
    1
  84. Lloyd Fredendall has been properly demonized for an absence on the battlefield. Grant gets demonized for his absences. Rommel seems to get a pass. Shoe shopping. Don't go get drunk. Don't worry about the integrity of your body. But shoes. Won ww2 and Gettysburg. Gotta have shoes.
    1
  85. And he just got away with murdering the man who won the war and will now be assuming control of your country. And of course. The credito.
    1
  86. And yes. Judas is the grandfather of the cia.
    1
  87. Patton was the loud mouthed replacement who was supposed to spend his war entertaining the sultan of Morocco.
    1
  88. I would highly encourage everyone to read the grant autobiography. Got mine on eBay for a quarter bc egon said print was dead back in 84.
    1
  89. Donovans corpse can be dug up and have that started. How high up do we need to go. That "drunk" soldier would wished his name was hitler and he had been captured by stalin. Family probably wouldve never seen him again and we wouldve had our confession for our Patron saint. Our Joan of the arc.
    1
  90. They haven't been in to whitewash their personal writings and journals yet bc why whitewash something that one modern day American will not say TLDR to.
    1
  91. Oh and I given myself a very attractive, very single British female 20 year old female to drive me for my war. No questions. Thank you.
    1
  92. And its incredible. You look back. He was leaving all sorts of Easter eggs laying around to kind of spell it out to a culture who had at least 10 percent gaydar function.
    1
  93. Which at this time wouldve been the pinnacle of celebration of white male power. My gun says this ain't your land anymore.
    1
  94. Fun fact. He knew nothing of military history. Was not a good student. Would rather be reading a fictional western novel.
    1
  95. In fact if not for a man named John Wilkes booth, the minorities were going to be shipped to the carribean to die in 3rd world poverty with people of the same skin tone. Booth shot Lincoln which put the hitler of the Indians into office and he forgot all about the black slaves which left them in the south. Yes dealing with Jim crow. But never pointed out, not starving in the 3rd world.
    1
  96. My Patton murder source is the rantings and ravings of a demented elderly man who we can confirm actually was in Europe killing people for the OSS at the time he said he did it. It comes down to saying either the dementia is making him invent stories, OR the dementia is making him forget he puts his entire family in jeopardy to speak on certain things.
    1
  97. Fun fact. Patton breached 200 years of racism that started giving blacks meaningful roles in the army with his driver during ww2. Eisenhower breached something else on his driver during ww2.
    1
  98. Fun fact. Patton got partnered up with his driver due to a very poor taste racist practical joke by one Ike. Who never transcended racism like Patton.
    1
  99. The black driver was supposed to hinder Patton and be a sandbag. Not an airbag.
    1
  100. Or maybe like Joe pesci in that casino movie. Sure George, you're about to be a made man buddy.
    1
  101. It would be fitting for them to reopen construction on peasant road and put him to work on it over there. Since there's not 2 to start a cannibal island with. America sounds better to be on the side of now huh. Racists and all.
    1
  102. Pretty amazing he was stopped by not having control of the press. It was used against him. Between neville Chamberlain sueing for peace and this man. Is it hard not to imagine this looking like the future. Churchill had been thrown out of parliament for warmongering at this point.
    1
  103. Some of the video I find disagreeable. Portraying Arnold acting as a crybaby is unmilitary. He was a colonel in an army during wartime and if they subordinated him so greatly, they shouldve hung. Otherwise the biggest private takes control of the army. I would like to find out more about how they callously got away with it. I mean even win win win George Patton had to say that message was garbled in transmission. I want the message reanalyzed for error for the next 48 hours.
    1
  104. The rivalry with Montgomery was falsely built up in the movie to make it look like he cared more about being the victor and getting the glory than he did for mens lives. But in reality. He has 50 percent the casualty rates of any other allied general. Meaning his way was effective and the SAFEST.
    1
  105. Pretty much just remember that everyone tries to act like the last year of the man's life makes him Oskar Schindler. It does not. More to a military point. He was shoe shopping for his wife when we hit the beaches. 24 hours of being there to personally direct a repulsion might have changed the course of history. And his genius in the desert is now hotly debated as being more of a British spy network he called his "little fingers" than actual military acumen.
    1
  106. Eisenhower logic. Your rich. Hes rich. You should make fast friends. Oh and I've given you a n*@;$ driver for the war. Good luck.
    1
  107. And please don't make the Patton murderer, Eisenhower, out to be owens solution. That man won ww2 completely despite himself by being a racist. That is all to discuss there. In other words. One racist practical sandbagging joke to another racist friend put together the duo that would win the war. I speak of course of George Patton and his driver. Sargeant Mims.
    1
  108. Patton lost a game of thrones he never even knew he was playing. Why do we have confirmed ww2 assassins with dementia, American, claiming they helped kill Patton.
    1
  109. So I start to look for lannister moves in place of dna. We have a lifelong friend apparently so torn up he can't make the funeral. An ex president too. And in the midst of it all we have a spy for said man who was identified as a spy and told I want you to be my man instead, do exactly that, and then betray that friendship in every way shape and form posthumously.
    1
  110. Someone who actually did something without racist motives in their heart from that time period would be Billy the kid outlaw. After being born lower mid class and father dying. Mom meets a rich old white guy who takes them west. Mom dies. Rich white guy abandons Billy immediately like not my sperm. Indians take Billy in and raise him. Billy watched Indians get killed and mistreated. Billy fights back. They hide in a dark house and shoot him for disobeying the LAW.
    1
  111. And that sob Omar Brutus Bradley. Is the spy i speak of.
    1
  112. What skorzeny was trying to explain to you. You have replaced a loud racist with a much quieter one that reads go cowboys, injuns suck novels. He has taken the SS. and attached an O to the front. Same function.
    1
  113. Eisenhower took offense to a tree that constantly got in the way of his golf ball at Augusta and petitioned to have it cut down. Thats the general that man was.
    1
  114.  @cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647  Eisenhower murdered a good friend for the throne, completing the game and did not attend the funeral. After letting the good friend win the war for him. Patton learned there was more honor between him and a black man in a road car than in 1000 dwight Eisenhower. Which completely screws with the they're less than I am philosophy.
    1
  115. Hes the original and real life Ned Stark.
    1
  116. The only reason I give 2 squirts for the letter is bc rommel should not have been shoe shopping. Rommel shoildve gotten all his panzer. And Patton wpuldve strolled down pas de Calais Blvd straight to Berlin. I wouldve liked to see ike serve up that letter to someone.
    1
  117. Now according to this old fella. He just broke pattons neck with a Swedish rock finger during the slowdown of the limo. It was the russians that snuck into the hospital he was in and gave him a medication iv that would cause a lethal PE.
    1
  118. Sadly enough. He says that he had heard wind that Patton might be a target and actually approached the man to warn him bc he had dealt with him and had tremendous respect and felt he at least owed him fair warning. Patton famously told him well, the f^#%*@s will have to catch me first. Putting the idea squarely into the assassins head.

  119. I should really give ike his dues. He produced great military minds like fredendall and Clark.
    1
  120. Now im making a couple of guesses here based off of perusal through diaries of these men. Were going to find out Omar Bradley was involved. As he, and his jealousy is more responsible for villanizing Patton than any other. He rants and raves about ike cow tailing to the British demands and wants. And then he is able to, after the war, transpose that hatred to a dead soldier and commanding officer who respected the heck out of his abilities. He would be your first man f%$^ dna sweetheart. And I bet Ikes not far behind him.
    1
  121. One man I don't have to make guesses about is Donovan. As the assassin claimed his orders came direct from him.
    1
  122. Now in the assassins defense. He pointed out that as a assassin. You don't get to say no. You get to say yes sir. Or you get to die in their place.
    1
  123. And then you realize. This man really hated everything Eisenhower was doing. Bradley not Patton. Was criticizing him to the high heavens behind his back. The only person he forgot to tell about it all was Ike. Then you realize that hitler probably thought Joseph goebbels a less loyal servant than either Patton or Eisenhower thought about Bradley.
    1
  124. And poo poo on the south for wanting the original counts to stand.
    1
  125. Very unpatton. Very unpatton. The brits developed the term rommel to mean you did something excellently during ww2. You rommeled it. I would like to do the same with Patton. He lost his job that he was very good at not taking the path of least resistance to simpletons.
    1
  126. Notice how he can cover a roman ruler and just cutely talk about millions upon millions of deaths. He doesn't ask, how dare a statue was built to him by these people which is how we know their features. H man there is plenty of how dare you. I can use the word Japanese. Cuz they keep their heads down, helps people forget. I can say hirohito. I have to say h man. You created that monster yourselves.
    1
  127. Same arrogance that encountered Jean carrying her banner and laughed and said they've got their women fighting for them now right before being soundly whipped.
    1
  128. So when you're talking roman emperors, I just have to assume you know your stuff. When you talk civil war or ww2 generals you've entered my world which is where I've absorbed most personal writings by heart. A few things. Billy the kid seems to be one of the few non racist whites in his time that isn't falsely propped up as some magical non racist fairy that never really existed. Lincoln and Grant both fall heavily in being benefited by being on the side of history that we like in modern times. What Lincoln essentially did was pull a donald trump and come up short on votes and thinking he could find them in Georgia. There's absolutely no reason you should be upset at anything donald trump has done and not look at Lincoln in the same light. Except Lincoln won and got to make himself the hero. Thats going to remain a dream for donald.
    1
  129. If this country was the popular show the office. Lincoln is Michael Scott. Trump is dwight. They're both completely inept at their jobs. They're going to try the exact same things. Except it's going to work out for michael somehow through no fault of his own. It will never workil that way for dwight.

  130. George patton. After Bernard Montgomery accused him of having better equipment, and therefore, more success, ordered an American lieutenant to carry a 5 gallon can of gas up to Montgomery. Deliver pattons secret weapon to him. Tell him that unfortunately, due to Bernard Montgomery, this is all that can be spared. But he was also ordered. To assure a British field Marshall that it was more than enough gas to carry all his armies for 2 solid days.
    1
  131. Also ullyses probably would not admit but was a consumate f^@% up throughout his entire adult life until everybody but him got white in the face at the body count they had piled up. Mary Lincoln was the true proponent of abolition and she was so crazy and overbearing that many historians believed it was because she fought with fellow whites so much, she was happy to do anything perceived to be spiting them. Mrs Grant was not proslavery per say. But she was a rich girl from a rich family who did nothing manual and had help for that. Mary Lincoln was so crazy and anti social and probably prodded Mrs grant for not being able to do a thing without her cheap or enslaved help. Just so long as there was help. They absolutely hated one another as most did Mary Lincoln, and you've reported yourself, that caused grant to not be present for his assassination attempt.
    1
  132. We have vilified hitler so. He gets an interesting distinction in the afterlife. He gets to walk up to Abraham Lincoln and ask exactly who voted him the fuhrer of America. And abes going to answer one Mary Lincoln combined with being a few votes short. He simply used Mary Lincoln as his lost votes and decided for you. Thats the legally fuzzy gray area he talks about being in, in the Lincoln movie. Modern history fails to usually inform you, at this point he escaped and acted outside of his job and the law. Which is more what caused the war than one side being not racist and one being racist.

  133. Gaydars were horribly broken back then. So you could walk around like Richard Simmons and tell people you were just highly animated. Just don't let them catch you.

  134.  @rd-wj3sh  You all are so clever. There needs to be a reply to all button. So history. Is expansive. People tend to specialize. Mine is George S Patton. I'm the world's foremost authority. Pleased to meet you. Have heard the man mentioned in one sentence in my vast personal, physical ww2 library. Denny Hair and Carlo D'Este may want to take me up on my claim. If you gentlemen ain't them. You won't be.
    1
  135. While I make no claim to being the best foremost authority on Patton. What I have come to learn. We are all. A dang sight better than ANY of the worlds foremost authorities on ernie Pyle or dwight Eisenhower.

  136. Its sometimes with George, wow. How can one be so smart at battle but so stupid and played like a fiddle by people.

  137. You can disobey orders. You better have it hidden behind a good reason. Not f^#& you sir. I'm in charge today.

  138. The man just really needs aviators as bad as Jones needed that turban.

  139. Lincolns wife was so abhorrent to be around to anyone around her, she was the only woman in the 1800s that got her husband into multiple duel challenges without sexual affairs being involved. Thats how detestable she was to anybody who even had slight personal contact. To the point she singlehandedly save us grants life on assassination night with the grants detestation of her.
    1
  140. So basically. Jan. Just to further make that comparison.
    1
  141. Lincoln set the slave free. And that's true. But south park is never wrong and will not be in the 1860s either. What about our jobs, abe? Won't they do them for cheaper. Not if they are on a 3rd world island. Lincoln set you free, to starve and sit on a 3rd world island. It was John Wilkes booth who set you free, IN AMERICA.

  142. A white celebrity who made lil Wayne money in the 1860s shot him and unknowingly created lil Wayne himself in 120 years time.

  143. Reno was told by Custer to bring the pacs forward. He had to rely on being confused if he was spelling packs or a videogame character that would not exist for 100 more years. Not f%#* you, Custer. You finally taking an arrow to the genitalia this pm and you deserve it.

  144. I live in a tiny rural Midwestern city that has a distinction of being the tiniest city to own 3 real mummies in America. And we have these corpses on display. I could walk up break the glass and urinate on any 3 as I speak. In a matter of 20 minutes drive a few different directions. But alas. We can't at least corroborate Donovan and dig him up? I would gladly break the glass, do it, and let you decide the amount of time i needed to do for being a patriot.
    1
  145. I've integrated blacks and whites into the Midwest peacefully through the white baby Aramaic Jesus. Shall I start a colony and have this be a world leader. Or get into a power struggle with the US government and get a senator off my lawn? The later, obviously.
    1
  146. And what I fear maybe only a retired president Eisenhower, understood. Washington repeatedly refused the power that was insisted upon him. He was a great leader. Patton wouldve repeatedly refused it to. You sought it.
    1
  147. I don't have to do a PR spin cycle with my history to avoid demonatization. When you do. Your fellow Country man has become a fascist whether they think their intentions good or ill.
    1
  148. Teaching this is as dangerous as teaching the north was good during the Civil War and the south was bad. He has been exonerated by most major historians studying this as not having been involved and he was an ardent nazi until about the last year of his life when he was unable to convince hitler to give up land and counter attack and also to sue for conditional surrender when that wouldve been an option. He was murdered for being accused of being a part of an assassination plot. Historians widely believe it was one of his lieutenants if anybody was involved at all.
    1
  149. But I will tell you this. Eisenhower is the most realistic male equivalent I've found to Cersei Lannister that's about ever existed. Pattons the closest thing to Ned stark.
    1
  150. It was Patton who first let a black man feel extreme power being used to cover up his shortcomings rather than have them used against him and crucified. It was Patton who chauffeured his chauffeur, completely drunk, home making sure nobody ever knew. It was Patton who threw an even bigger fit about losing him than he did gaining him. It was Patton who flew a black man on the first private jet home. It was Patton who gave a black man his first honor guard upon arrival.
    1
  151. He also sought war instead of peace times. He was miserable in peace. He was one man besides all the men hiding the serial killer tendencies as a soldier to actually and truly enjoy the battlefield in American history since the Civil War. Every other man was writing my dearest wife with gods help this war will end and I will make it home to you and the kids. He wrote his wife about his fears of the war ending suddenly.
    1
  152. Pretty much interestingly coinciding with nietchze begginging to kill God and a happy waiting valhalla of an afterlife to many logical people.
    1
  153. Fun fact. I know of no greater failures in high command during ww2 than the names lloyd fredendall and mark Clark. Lloyd was given a promotion to come home and train troops(sacked) and Mark Clark barely survived that fate. Mark Clark also did him one better by trying to pass off the his failures as that of a decent general. Lucas. But I digress from my point which is both were Ikes hand picked protégés that were supposed to single handedly win the war.
    1
  154. Does this sound familiar children? There's youtube fame and fortune over in them hills yonder. Oh wait. Not at all. Left behind. There was a gold rush in the 1800s in which a couple people hit gold pockets and got rich. It sent half of America west to do same. Turned out there was a few pockets of gold. For a few people to discover.
    1
  155. Along with the gift of a first of a driver to the grandson of confederate generals, he gives himself a 1st of a driver as well. A woman. A beautiful, white, single, 20 year old British woman. Now here's were every black man across America can help out your fellow white man. Black men, what was happening in that roadcar?
    1
  156. Mary Lincoln would write to papers under male fake names and pretty much libel whomever upset her that week publicly. One man found out it was her writing and challenged abe to a duel in her stead. Abe supposedly got to pick weapon and chose the ax. Then scared the guy out of the duel by chopping down a tree one handed.
    1
  157. A woman once told winston churchill at a dinner party that if she were his wife, she would poison his drink. And if I were your husband, he says, I would gladly and promptly drink it. This is Mary Lincoln. That same type of woman.
    1
  158. On another hand. Look at US Grant. Who told Lincoln the strategy that he would follow and would work like none before it. Like russia in ww2. He threw meat at the problem. And knew full well he was doing it. Had told Lincoln he had to do it to win the war. And made Lincoln promise not to turn on him at the first report of the body count coming in.
    1
  159. But I refuse to let the south be vilified as racist when most slave owner relationships are not violent affair. Of course most serial killers don't dress up as clowns but. So there is always an example of everything. Now imagine you've been taught you can identify a serial killer by them liking to dress up like a clown. You've been taught wrong.
    1
  160. That's ok though. You guys never have learned that lesson from your then pm. Thats the kind of british arrogance that had Patton sitting in Montgomerys reserved seats at Palermo and Messina and finishing up the meal that was supposed to be his 8th army with pattons 7th. I love it.
    1
  161. Hitler was not disappointed at these Olympics. He was grinning ear to ear as he had basically prophesied the outcome.
    1
  162. Back to hitler and these Olympic games, he was grinning ear to ear and supremely confident in his germans. They had just exceeded expectations in the Olympics. But much like the American south. This was working against him making him supremely confident to go ahead and extend himself too far. This along with the Russian winter war in Finland is what a lot of historians point out as hitler taking bad lessons from the results. So. All this gold helped the mighty fall is my point.
    1
  163. And thats why I digress back to my original comment. Patton was the original real life ned stark.
    1
  164. Fun fact. Without the man he betrayed. Dwight Eisenhower couldn't out general a tree on a golf course. Not an exaggeration.
    1
  165. Just to recap. Eisenhower tree 1. Eisenhower 0.
    1
  166. Who knew. A bunch of racists won't elect a non racist man with completely different views as their president. If you want a 90 percent approval rating as a politician anywhere. You getting a little racist on somebody. Ask adolf. Thats why there is no president Billy the kid.
    1
  167. So as a historian. I'm a little disappointed. I understand everybody except men who get to invert their fascist salutes have bosses and I understand the algorithm but not to make more of an effort to make people understand the story of the h man crib pic is again more of the same I already talked about. As a historian you have to take a step back and be objective. That means separating the holocaust and h mans ability to govern as 2 separate things. He is either, catering towards lesser minds bc it is the path of least resistance or worse. Is a poor historian. I doubt the latter. If so, I would refer you to fellow country man max Hastings for some context readjustment.
    1
  168. And its like. You hate books. Ok. You like youtube. Learn the behind the scenes skills and take those seriously. Editing. Script writing. Nope. I'm starring baby. I talk for 10 minute. One million dollars please. OK well. Hopefully it works out.
    1
  169. Japan had a little holocaust of their own. What is that mafia movie where they say so and so kept their head down, it helps people forget. They killed in the 10 to 20 millions of Chinese, Indian and Phillipine peoples. And Russia takes the cake by purging everybody but also supplying the allies with a peasant army of around 6 mil.
    1
  170. So John wilkes booth ultimately ripped the chains off black men in the best situation they could be in without realizing thats exactly what he was doing. Just like everybody else then enjoying their new status of not being a racist. Except for Billy the kid. An outlaw that didn't survive into young adulthood.
    1
  171. H man seems to hold a special place in our hearts as the ultimate baddie. But your a modern day sjw who has been taught sub basic level history and developed your opinions and worldview around them. Case in point. 3 holocausts occurred during ww2 really 5. You are acutely aware of the smallest. Who else did they kill? Thats what you've been trained to think. Try japan. 15 million Chinese Philippino and Indian persons. No factories. Lead and fires and body pits. You didn't hear because it was churchill self proclaimed darkest moment. The other dark thing there is all the aforementioned skin tones.
    1
  172. Yes these people are actually right. This is complete and utter propaganda to fight what had actually happened. The germans are a very self sufficient people and hitler had bragged about Germany winning all the gold at his Olympics. It almost happened and they've never been so one sided for one country winning so much gold. Jesse owens was the one disappointment of the day for Germany and FDR latched onto it and ran because he was already getting told by men like Henry Ford that losers mess with adolf hitler.
    1
  173. Also Simon, tell your editor to do their job. Like bill would say it. You're sitting here pronouncing Egyptian and roman names like they were your bestie. They are typing things like labor stike underneath you.
    1
  174. Or I'm sure you would prefer labour. I'm a churchill man so I can go either way. I look at the brit as a cousin with a typically much better taste in gaming than most of my American ones.
    1
  175. Every brit realizes gta is a goat. I've never had to argue gta to an englishman. Constantly to Americans who would prefer anything else, they just can't get those things to sell very well. Therefore, you've kept me in superior game taste to other Americans for a long time. And I realize a whole country buying something helps.
    1
  176. I guess thatcher drilled the concept of a free market deciding king into you. Americans apparently smoked ourselves retarded while Reagan pleaded for us to use our brains. And now an American seems to be unable to identify, I like thing y. Thing x sold waaaaaaay better. The final facts about thing y, it is better because, I like it, I'm a millenial, and I have spoken.
    1
  177. And yes. One could set thing x to be gta v. And thing y to be the last of us.
    1
  178. And with that being said. I vote the game awards be moved to England. And I'm American.
    1
  179. When your reasoning is, "hey, that guy wasn't completely right. We got a gold." That guy was completely right.
    1
  180. Or like the white kid who knows hitler was a bad bad man. But his favorite rap musician that just tried to shot someone was just representing his set.
    1
  181. When did yall get native Americans there in Britain? Not every word in English derives from a saxon. So when Simon discusses the battle of shy-loh, he should probably not call it shi-loh like its a city in France. Is all im saying.
    1
  182. I'm not sure how it became his guts, our blood. The moniker shouldve been, he can afford to be the furthest place in the world from here and has chose not to be. Lets listen. Grant called himself a butcher and doesn't have to run around with a grants surrender, our flesh moniker.
    1
  183. Also we need to take Winston churchill with a grain of salt here. He tended to be attracted to bad boys and would go to great lengths to emulate them. One of these was al capone. Hence his famous picture holding the Tommy gun. Winston had almost developed this fetish of rommel as had Montgomery. Brits were starting to tell each other they had rommeled something when done well. He was pedastoled by churchill probably improperly. But again. He would've pardoned capone if given the chance. Its like the white kid who wants to be from the projects and be a rapper.
    1
  184. Now this being stated a few things. He would tell you himself that he never MATCHED wits with Robert e Lee. He had a strategy no one had tried and he sat and told Lincoln the exact strategy he was going to execute if given the job. They're simply better than you but you can out material and out economy and out man them. Now use it. Its a war. Keep throwing men at them and don't stop and they eventually tire or run out of ammo. He predicted to Lincoln that he would be called a butcher and he needed Lincoln to not waver once it started. People were about to be butchered to win.
    1
  185. Very similarly to this perception is today's perception of the Civil War. Same thing. Vegas said the south was curb stomping this dictator/president. And for 2 years, they did.
    1
  186. So that today we make videos like this, like look at this crazy guy from the past. He was not crazy. He was the safe better. The odds follower.
    1
  187. This would be similar betting to walking into the 1980 winter Olympics and putting one million dollars on team usa to beat team russia in ice hockey.
    1
  188. Or better put. He could not, in good consciousness, put out an order that he knew was not being followed in the SHAEF command vehicle.
    1
  189. I've always maintained that if I had my way I would banish Christianity as a fairy tell and give America its real savior and real judas. And then we would dig judas up and every American would mecca to desecrate the corpse in some way. Much better than white baby Aramaic Jesus. Much funnier too.
    1
  190. Pattons real life shortcomings were not tyranicism. His real life shortcoming was blinding stupid loyalty that people very easily took advantage of to get where they wanted to be. It would be my ultimate con behind this great soldier. You could run any game of thrones you wanted to run right underneath his nose.
    1
  191. But you will be surprised. He doesn't address the Civil War first like you would think. He actually makes an apology to Mexico from America for the entirety of the Mexican War. Because we did a lot of dishonest things you don't know about bc they were all a bunch of racist, we keep the power, or die like Billy the kid, whites.
    1
  192. You keep likening him to Isis but I would say he has more of a jim jones feel to him.
    1
  193. Or do you think it was god who broke pattons racism by handing him one of the bravest and most obedient drivers he could ever be handed. This man went from Patton throwing a fit about getting to Patton throwing another fit about losing. This man got chauffeured home drunk by a lt general in the army. This man's alcoholism was covered up by that very same general so he didn't lose him. He was even the first black American soldier to have an honor guard escort waiting at the airport after being flown home in pattons personal jet. Racism can be beaten through sheer honor. Know this.
    1
  194. I don't think a utopian future of everybody getting to be Mr me ftw is in the cards for every American but I've been wrong before.
    1
  195. And before anyone says I'm crazy. Why do we have a confirmed OSS ww2 assassin, pro boxer, pro painter extraordinaire get dementia and start claiming he was involved in a plot to kill Patton and that it was ordered by wild Bill Donovan. That's top level. That's from the white house of from SHAEF.
    1
  196. Supposed to say or from SHAEF.
    1
  197. What shouldve happened is higher command shouldve heard about the mutiny and sent a force to not so kindly explain to the lesser officer and whatever army they've built that they were mistaken in rank. It's called a military coup. And the act of putting one down.
    1
  198. Its a failure of the NSA to properly personality test in a rush to find somebody for a job any teen wouldve been capable of. To wild Bill Donovan himself. That was for Patton. Straight up. Hes no hero. Like most Americans, I would pay attention to his more recent. I didn't know nothing cuz I was John snow comments from Russia. Shouldve stayed a 00 agent of anime you really aren't aware of history well enough to make the decisions you do about important or crucial matters. And were hiring you w top secret intelligence at the highest level. You could not tell me about the 7 years war. Rev war. Civil War. Ww1. Or ww2. But you could tell me about dragon ball z. And you're making world altering decisions. You don't even understand my initial Patton comment.
    1
  199. Can I know whats best for you? No. Can adolphus? No. Hes pretty good. I'm telling you. Can donald trump? Absolutely not. Can Abraham? Of course. Hes magical.
    1
  200. That unsafeness you're feeling is a leftover from a man your govt wanted you to know as uncle Joe stalin. And well. Uncle Joe knew how to game the throne. It probably would've paid divendends to learn any of thls. Uncle Joe taught us all the spy tricks we know by inviting us to lavish hotels and bugging the h@%# out of us. Before verizon AND bakuya??? Yes. In the mid 1940s. Did he shoot fireballs from his hand? No. More like secret police.
    1
  201. Of course Winston would be familiar with that arrogance. It had just had him thrown out of parliament for being a warmongerer.
