Been piling through Hollywood battle speeches for reference for the next blog and it is striking to me just how poor most of them are. Nearly all of the work is done by the soundtrack. Howard Shore or John Williams can make anything sound inspiring. But as speeches...eh?

Good, in as much as it is based on a real set of speeches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton%27s_speech_to_the_Third_Army …), bad in as much as Patton's exemplary profanity is largely removed. Also, I find myself less fond of Patton, and more of Ike, as time goes on and my thinking on war matures...

patton's diary entry for that speech was 'as in all my talks I stressed fighting and killing' my ww2 vet grandfather loved patton, I think he was a palatable leader to people who were slogging on the ground not surprised the reality is subtler

Heh. My grandfather fought in Italy (wounded at Monte Cassino) and he was not a fan of Patton.
