General Patton to the 3rd US Army

Europe would be speaking German if today's ROEs governed the theater.

More accurately we won easier than we might have because we followed similar ROEs in the theater. Germans were happy to surrender to the "good guys" instead of fighting to the last man.

"We"?

They did fight to the last man, you goof.

Actually the General's real voice was a bit higher pitched but that doesn't take away from the fact that he was probably the most feared general in the theater, and outside the theater...all the way to Washington.
Amen.
