Post; General Patton's quote??


Quote:
Americans love a winner and don't tolerate a loser. Even the thought of losing is hateful.
Is it his?

"Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American."

It was part of Patton's speech to the 3rd Army on the night before D-Day.
