Patton Quote
American GI Cook : Up bright and early, General? Uh, breakfast?
Patton : Am I to understand that my officers have already finished eating?
American GI Cook : Uh, well, we're open from six to eight. Most of the men are just coming in now. [ Indicates two soldiers who enter the mess hall ]
Patton : Please inform these men that the mess hall is closed.
American GI Cook : But sir, it's only a quarter 'til eight.
Patton : From now on, you will open at six, and no man will be admitted after six-fifteen. Where are your leggings?
American GI Cook : Leggings? Oh hell, General sir, I'm a cook.
Patton : You're a soldier. Twenty dollar fine. [ two more soldiers enter the mess hall. Patton looks them over ]
Patton : Gentlemen, from this moment, any soldier without leggings, without a helmet, without a tie, any man with unshined shoes or a soiled uniform... is going to be skinned.
