George S. Patton
Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.
George S. Patton
If I could have three wishes, one would be to take an '88 and shove that barrel up Hitler's ass so that cocksucker can cry like the little god-damned girl he is. And hell, after that, I wouldn't need two more wishes.
George S. Patton
Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
