Hey, remember the time that George Patton tried to cover up a war crime that was partially the result of his own rhetoric :

"We will get the
name of killers and killers are immortal."

"Fuck them, no prisoners"

And then there's Patton's classic "There's no such thing as shellshock. It's an invention of the Jews!" after he slapped his second soldier in Sicily, who was malarial, had a fever, and had requested not to be evac'd from his FA battalion

Yes, I've been reading Rick Atkinson's "The Day of Battle" and I am moderately pissed off about operations in Sicily in 1943 right now

"but ASO, he brought victory"

Did he? Pretty sure other people brought lots of victory, too

And even if he did, is that who we want to be? What's the point of being proud to be part of the US if horrible things are done in the name of "liberty?"
