"And, yes, General Knox, I am an uncouth, and profane man....however, you see that Private sitting over there, outside his tent? Cold enough to freeze his balls off, and the man is shaving! Now THERE is a "civilized man" for you" Any other good quotes and sayings out there? There was a story, about General G. S. Patton, standing on the bank of the Rhine river.....taking a leak. When he turned away, he had forgotten to close the "door"......Someone wanted to get a picture of the General.....( Bill Maudlin???)
