a veteran

I didn't exaggerate the plot of gunpowder smoke too much. After watching the tense battle, I felt slow. Because of a veteran, the war, victory, flowers, excitement... all overshadowed.
Patton, first of all, it reminds me of Li Guang, the Han Dynasty's most powerful and unparalleled parachutist, and also a somewhat tragic veteran. Reminds me of the phrase "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal."
Poor people must be cute. Does the Patton veteran also evoke a hint of sympathy? At the end of the shot, an old man and a puppy are getting farther and farther between the two buildings.
Another straightforward person. "Your cup is your open mouth!" How can Brad's reminder shake the human nature. Veteran, that is, age, experience, and sophistication, but this veteran is still too young. I don't know why the war has become not so simple. A hero who is willing to be a puppy for the war is like the hero in "Perfume". One's life is war, the other's life is perfume, and both are Ideals are persistence. When the Germans burned pictures of Patton and said his time was coming to an end, his time was indeed over. In the next US-Soviet hegemony, he is no longer useful for bipolar hegemony. His battlefield is only suitable for flowing blood and vague flesh, and he will never be a soldier in a political battle.

Patton quotes

  • Field Marshal Erwin Rommel: What is this activity near Coulances?

    General Alfred Jodl: Enemy armored forces driving through our defenses at Lessay.

    [reading telegram]

    General Alfred Jodl: "American tanks moving rapidly, slicing through to the rear areas."

    Capt. Oskar Steiger: This sounds like Patton, Field Marshall.

    General Alfred Jodl: Patton is in England.

    Field Marshal Erwin Rommel: Do we know this?

    General Alfred Jodl: The landing in Normandy is merely a diversionary maneuver. The real invasion will come at Calais and Patton will lead it. The Fuehrer says that the Fifteenth Army is not to be moved to Normandy.

    Field Marshal Erwin Rommel: Those men are sitting on the beach at Calais throwing rocks at each other while our men are being slaughtered in Normandy.

    General Alfred Jodl: [firmly] The Fifteenth Army is waiting for Patton at Calais and he will land there.

    Field Marshal Erwin Rommel: You seem perfectly willing to accept this nonsense, Jodl. Why?

    General Alfred Jodl: [chuckles] Because I am not prepared to dispute the Fuehrer.

  • Patton: Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost, and will never lose a war... because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
