"cypher745" wrote in message news Didn't Patton die in 1945?? Making all of this a little suspect. No, what is suspect is your knowledge. George S. Patton, Jr. died in 1945; his son (note the use of "III") also graduated from USMA and also retired as a general officer, having served a couple of tours in Vietnam (first as Regimental Commander of the 11th ACR, then as a BG IIRC serving as an ADC). Brooks "S. Sampson" wrote in message news:OnASb.13425$Q_4.11977@okepread03... In May 1972, the Boston Phoenix reported that Kerry had defiantly given his medals back to the U.S. government during one of his many protests. New York Times columnist Bill Keller wrote in September 2002 that the senator invited him to view 40 minutes of films Kerry made depicting his war exploits. Keller wrote that anti-war doves would still support the man they remembered for "throwing his war ribbons onto the steps of the Capitol." When pressed about what happened to his medals, Kerry now says the medals he threw away were not his and that his are displayed in his Senate office. Retired General George S. Patton III would later angrily charge that Kerry's actions had "given aid and comfort to the enemy." Supremely arrogant and demonstrably contemptuous of the voting public, Kerry nevertheless regularly touts his military experience during his presidential run. But he forfeited the right to do that 30 years ago. Come to think of it, if he continues to posture as a war hero, he'll lose the friendship of Ramsey Clark, Angela Davis, and the Daily World. |

Could we please stick to military aviation and can the OT political crap? Kerry says he knows something about Aircraft Carriers. Eleanor Clift has done a pre-emptive strike on the Republicans: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4114162/ |

And just what were your war exploits? Anything? I am less of an American than General Patton III if that is what you mean, but I respect his views on Kerry. |

Ancestry of George S. Patton George Smith Patton III [U.S. Army General] -1945 Brooks, please note the the use of III. Have a good day. Your source is in error. The WWI and WWII hero was "Jr." His father changed his middle name from William to Smith, and therefore was not a "Jr." |
