  1. Racist, but frankly he was far from being the only one with these views, he just was one of the most famous because of his vocalness and his achievements during the war.

    That shell shock quote is peak cringe however.

  2. Based Patton, it was the right time to finish off the ruski world domination illusions once and for all.

  3. I’m kind of sure that this dude was somewhat shell shocked himself.

  4. Russians have spent the last century proving that they deserve all the racism directed at them. Absolutely based.

  5. He was right in another quote that the job was left half done and it opened the door for a half century of suffering across multiple continents.

  6. Racist, absolutely, but considering the crimes of the soviets, and them still having a say with what happens to Europe afterwards, as if they belonged to the ‘righteous’ I wouldn’t blame him for this kind of thing

  7. I mean, the absolute right man for that exact time.

    Had he been born at another time, absolutely of no use to anyone, but based for being one of the exact 5 people the world needed at that time.

    Shell shock/PTSD quote is hard to read though.

  8. Most sane fucking American. Him and George Kennan

  9. Patton seems like someone who ruins a good party. We’re the soviets shit? Yes. But goddamn that shellshock quote. Yes lets push humans into the worst thing imaginable and bitch at them when it starts taking a toll on them.

  10. The polish general one is so true since not only most people completely forgot that Poland was also invaded by the soviets, but once the war ended, most of the people in the exiled army were unable to return to Poland since it was under a soviet puppet regime

  11. It’s easy for an American to talk about wars, they are not waging them on their soil, especially if the person who’s talking is a general, MacArthur was saying exactly the same stuff about China.

  12. I mean if you think about it, was 12 million people all that much? Like that’s only like a small country worth of people. After all we all make mistakes when under the influence methamphetamines and it only happened once sooo! /s

  13. We couldn’t have won WW2 without the Soviet Union, but fuck, were they a bunch of barbarians. There’s a reason as to why the Germans did all they could to surrender to the Western Allies and not the Russians.

  14. He was right. Their ability to believe any crap their stealing and murdering goverment chose to feed them so strange.

    I mean they still carry Lenin, Stalin & Dzierżyński over their heads on official occasions, and there is no other person that killed more innocent russians that polisch murderer and psychopath Dzierżyński, founder of Czeka and somehow responsible for it’s further incarnations incarnations NKWD/KGB/FSB.

  15. Why he is racist? He is using the term savage very used in this sub in the same way, to the non europeans. He hate communism and do not like asians maybe it is because of the Pearl Harbour incident…

  16. He was for the Americans what Churchill was for the British. Racist, arrogant, crude, all around raging asshole, and the absolute right person at the right time for the job that needed doing. Whilst he may well have been right wanting to attack the Soviets, the rest of Europe was sick of a war that they had been fighting in their own house for far longer whilst America had enjoyed being untouched and profiting massively from the war. Him slapping and shouting at the shell shocked soldier was peak cringe though.

  17. Seems like a bit of an absolute asshole guy. And a bit mentally challenged too.

    His views on Russians and stuff may be shared by many others back in the time but he was just a warmongering idiot that got angry and threw a tantrum when they told him he shouldn’t start a war against a foreign ally, with more soldiers than whole of Western Europe, after 100+million life’s were lost already, in a foreign land, sending millions of others to certain death for it just cause he wanted to play the game of war like if it was Hearts of Iron campaign…

  18. There is not much based man among those ignorant whining fucks who call themselves americans, but general Patton was certainly one of them.

  19. Based. Russia is the rotten leftovers of the Golden horde

  20. I wish he was alive today. That’s all I am going to say.

  21. I don’t see why you would need to talk like that to a shell shocked soldier.

    He was a great general but he also sounds like he would have made a great Nazi had he been on the other side…
