Patton, “Tin-soldier politicians in Washington have allowed us to kick the hell out of one bastard [Hitler] and at the same time forced us to help establish a second one [Stalin] as evil or more evil than the first.”

He also opined that we fought on the wrong side.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

Patton and Trump have a lot in common. They have a lot of the same character.

Patton was a self centered, ego person. Patton was also a coward in battle. Patton Once said to the military: "I do not expect you to die for your country, I expect you to die for me".

"I do not expect you to die for your country, I expect you to die for me".

That quote is incorrect.

The nearest I can recall from the movie Patton is he said, "I do not want you to die for your country. I want you to make that other poor, dumb son of a bitch die for his country."

He gave that speech several times. But apparently there are no surviving copies of it. :-/
