PATTON's ADVICE ON LIBYA


The only tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, “To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.”



War is simple, direct and ruthless.



You must be single minded. Drive for the one thing on which you have decided.





We're in it, now let's be in it to win it . . .

Gen Patton was just following in the footsteps of General William T Sherman (US Civil War).

"You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out."
