Never in history has the navy landed an army at the planned time and place. But if you land us anywhere within 50 miles of Fedela and within 1 week of D-Day. I'll go ahead and win.
George S. Patton
I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French one behind.
George S. Patton
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
