This is probably what the pathetic Pete Kegstand was trying to recreate at Marine Corps Base Quantico this morning.
What he doesn't understand is that the film Patton — made during the height of Vietnam — was trying to come to terms with the American penchant for war and what Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme US commander during World War II, dubbed the military industrial complex. Eisenhower is not a character in the movie, but he looms over it. It's an important work of art.
A main reason for its greatness is George C. Scott's masterful performance. (He refused the Oscar he deservedly won, by the way.) If only Scott were around to weigh in on Trump & Co.— we bet he'd have some choice words. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
