George Patton Jr is not George Patton III by
ArtKramr
Not by a long shot. In fact nowhere close. And it is disengenious to say Patton
said it and then when challenged say, "Oh not that Patton". There is only ONE
PATTON.And another Patton can't be substituted for him. At least not to those
who fought in WW II.

The Poetry of Patton by
ArtKramr
The Curse Of Kant (1917)
The papers publish sob-stuff
And drool of the horrors of strife
They speak of the fallen as murdered
And lie about us and our life.
But we who are in it know better
There still is a glory to war
The death which one dies for Country

booming voice and a gruff, in your face manner. He had flown a tour with the
Bloody 100th Bomb Group over Berlin and. lived to tell the tale, Now I had
inherited him. He always yelled,...

"I'm hit. I'm hit" by
ArtKramr
I'm Hit!, I'm Hit!
Bob slammed back his copilots seat and threw his hands over his face."I'm hit!
I'm hit!" he shouted. I whirled around to see Bob over my right shoulder from
my position in the nose. Bob was writhing in pain holding his head. Then Paul
came on the intercom, "There's no blood,...

Change the rules for the National Guard.? by
ArtKramr
How about we fix it so that in case of national emergency the guard goes FIRST
before the regular troops. Great idea huh? Think we would still get everyone
flocking to the National Guard in that case? I know Bush would have been first
in line to join up.. Right?

If you are looking for a fight... by
ArtKramr
There has been some talk of men who wanted combat but due to "timing" or "luck"
they missed out. Well if you are in a unit that won't get into the fight, just
try this. Go to your CO and say," Sir, I hear the 344th is moving out to the
ETO. I want to go with them. Here is my transfer request....

Area bombing is not a dirty word. by
ArtKramr
60 years of hindsight with some revisionism thrown in have obscured the
original intent of attacking an enemy from the air. I only flew one (of 50)
mission
over cloud cover using GEE. We didn't call it area bombing. We didn't call it
blind bombing. Those are words are now used to stake out an...

It's a free market by
ArtKramr
Subject: Thought for Today A car company can move its factories to Mexico
and claim it's a free market.
A toy company can out-source to a Chinese subcontractor and claim it's a
free market.

market.
