PATTON Introduction Speech Intro ( English ) 

My father was there, in the Third Armored Division. He drove a Sherman on the drive to relieve Bastogne. Of course, having served in the 101st Airborne (Vietnam), we have never admitted that the 101st NEEDED to be relieved.

@@steffenritter7497 Was it a requirement of 101st to be a Ranger?

My dad did as well. Member of 602d Tank Destroyer Battalion that was attached to 3d Army and made the overnight march 20-21 Dec 44 from the Saar in France to Positions just southwest of Bastogne.

@@brucebarthold5359 Like I said my dad's three brothers were there then and in 1946 when my dad graduated from Trinidad High, Colorado he went in the army and was promptly placed in Military Government in Japan and after when in the reserves he was in Intelligence. So of course I went into the Marines at 17. I should have went in to get some pay back for my cousin that was killed in Vietnam, but my main purpose was to do my job and get out alive. www.virtualwall.org/da/AnselmoWF01a.htm

@@AmericanIsraeliJew I’m sorry for the loss of your cousin in Vietnam and thank you for your service. My dad and his brother both served in Europe. I retired from active duty after 30 years in the Air Force, 9 of them in Germany where I had an opportunity to visit towns my dad had been through in 1944-1945.

It took a Marine veteran to play the greatest army general….

@@MrSpudz2 my butts been wiped -beloved resident biden

He’s a better Patton than Patton

@@enshk79 LMAO!! (I say that very thing ALL THE TIME!!)

​@@enshk79The real speech he made was far more graphic, and longer than this one. It was never recorded only transcribed.

wow

That’s not true, they copied the pistols from the Ft Knox museum.

@@Maletoxic11Bravo IMDB said they were the real ones.

That's what I thought when I saw that revolver.

So which is it? Real or replica?

Honor among MEN - Respect 💪

That's not a Russian way. Zhukov way is to die for nothing

We didn't lose many guys is bullshit. Battle of the Bulge saw 60,000 casualties by itself.

@@pawewernicki7705 Yes, he was also the main Reason the NAZIS were defeated.

Love

So inspiring

Hope they still do it, but it would probably be considered "offensive"

Did you tear through the enemy like crap through a goose?

Yes. I saw this speech in the movie theater at Fort Jackson, SC in the summer of 1975 during basic training. As a 17 year old private, I felt like I/we could do anything under a General like Patton after watching this clip.

@@donragsdale2761 …and I was doing basic at Leonard Wood in 1975.

>>got to actually hear Patton give this speech

Patton also did not fight at d day

"served under patton" i bet he did. 😜

Our blood. His guts

@@alexmuenster2102 Supposedly Patton's actual speech was too vulgar to put in a movie (at that time). So the expletives were replaced, but the content was used in numerous speeches.

The day this movie opened, a bunch of my "long-haired hippie" classmates and I went en masse to see it in the theater, but it wasn't so much about Patton as it was about Scott. The buzz about his performance was unlike anything I had heard before or have heard since. Plus, we made a clear distinction between WWII and Vietnam. There is a big difference between fighting fascism and responding to a direct attack and fighting a war to prop up French colonialism.

@@mc76 Fighting fascism and fighting communism are both honorable motives.

@@Anthony-jo7up I agree with the communism part but whats wrong with fascism?

@@Jack-cd5dj fascism is communism with color outfits. I personally don't like talking heads deciding how I should live.

He died in 1945, the long haired hippes in 1970 wouldn't have known shit.

Well said!

I agree 100%! This scene gives me chills no matter how many times I watch it!

Written by Francis Ford Coppola

Nah, that honor belongs to Citizen Kane.

@@leroyproud294 yes undoubtedly the best.

It starts with honoring God.

It starts with honoring the sweet taste of Charleston Chew.

@@helives2630 it starts with honoring your mom 😎 gottem

i'd be happy to capture you stud. 😘

@@helives2630 we are not a Christian Nation.

USAF vet here. I have to admit that seeing the movie some years after my service sitting up a little straighter when the off-screen voice called "Attention!" and Mr. Scott appeared on screen.

The last time I went the base theater played the National Anthem.

Great story !! Thanks for sharing

Beautiful.

Thank you Hunter wilder for this information

Damn, yet another instance where a director lied to George C Scott. Kubrick in Dr Strangelove for saying he wont use George C Scott's rehearsal takes in the final film, which he did for pretty much the entire movie, and this!

@@nicholasteixeira8979 yes it's right... another instance...

And that's why he still did best performance regardless of his worries

@@MIMALECKIPL why did he refuse his oscar?

Thank You for Your service.

Awesome.

ohh.

Patton ... is my ringtone

It sets my fucking blood on fire. First time hearing it at the Save America rally 08.21.21.... I must say, it's not the same without the roar of the men around me! The screams and applause of what must have been at least a hundred thousand people; it was surreal!!!!!!!!!!

Karl Malden as Bradley too. Awesome back and fourth between those two all through the movie.

And this is almost the verbatim of Patton's speech except some of the vulgarities which Patton used profusely are edited out

Hard times build hard times, they're coming.

And like Eisenhower

"WHEN YOUR COUNTRY'S BEING RUN BY A MAN WHO CAN'T EVEN FINISH A SENTENCE..... _you'll know what to do."_ -George Patton

We do it's president trump

@@jeremydurante7761 The draft dodger?

Yes!

Amén 🙏🏼

Exactly

And he was very self-conscious about his voice when he was younger

George C Scott was a better Patton then Patton was. His voice

Lincoln supposedly also had a high voice.

Did he sound like that squeaky 12 old that said "blud" every 3 words and threatens to stab you with a pencil?

@Nathan Hale there was a guy who wrote a book on that. Who knows ?!

I appreciate his service and sacrifices. My grandfather also was at Omaha Beach. I'm trying to make a memorial to the WW2 vets around Sewanee TN. Daddy got drafted and went to vietnam he was LRRPS. I Joined as 3rd generation airborne infantryman and 100 disabled from an IED on my 3rd combat tour. Despite everything I don't regret serving my country for 14 years

@@rakkasans6121 You and your family make me proud to be American

Your dad and my grandfather are part of the greatest generation. Let us never forget them

That is humility at it's finest. Hard to find that level of humility these days because too many want praise and honor for just doing what they are supposed to do. Your Father Jim just did his job that is it and the fact that he didn't want credit for it speaks very highly of him.

My Uncle Joe was there too. He said " I just did a job like everyone else. "

Millenials are too busy putting on their mascara.

@@nhmooytis7058 Boomer hippies started it first. We're living in the world they allowed to be created.

@@queuedjar4578 actually most of what is called BOOMER culture was created by THEIR parents, the silent generation. Including the Boomers themselves, read some history, dimwit.

Yes because war is a great thing we should all want. I'm not saying being strong is wrong but I want peace before war. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Yep

Yep.

I’m guessing he was a brigade commander

It still does.

Patton’s pipe dream to invade the USSR and re-arm the Germans was batshit insane. He was rightfully removed from power after spewing that dangerous nonsense. Hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers would have died regardless of the effects dropping Nukes on Moscow would have, and mainland Europe would have been completely overrun by the Soviets. It would have only served to massacre more people on both sides.

Thank you for your much admirable service to our country. Because of you and your grandfather and father we STILL have a country to be proud of!

My eyes kept me out...every male in my family served. My uncle lost his hearing and a foot at Okinawa, but he still didn't regret serving I regret not going. Because of YOUR SERVICE I can have opinions, live where I want. Thank you

You are correct. He saw Russia as a threat. No one listened to him. Shoulda could woulda.

​@@stephenhagen234yes

Didn't he abuse several enlisted men?

@@FW-jq1ox He slapped an enlisted man for being cowardly with the intent of snapping him out of it. The incident bit Patton on the ass and the media sensationalized it.

Motivated them not abused a kick In the pants is a head start not a kick in the A$$

Wow!

@@FW-jq1ox leaders, real leaders will call out stupidity when deserved but most times he kept corrections to his junior officers since they needed it the most since it was generally their first command position and needed to be hemmed in

You don't see a movie like that anymore.

My Grandpa was in the 79th Infantry Cross of Lorraine Division and fought under Patton ❤️

Cool.

I never noticed that, great call

@Nathan Hale my grandpa gave me one

The historical accuracy of the flag almost makes up for the cursed "Patton-Tigers" that appear later on in the movie.

@@alanxu3936 the reason for that was there wasn't enough working Tigers

oh dang I just noticed that!

True !

No the music would not drown it out. Because this speech would never have made it to the movie. Too many cry babies in the USA now.

@@livetotell100 Actually it'd be beloved. To everyone who misses the irony it'd be beautifully patriotic. To everyone who understood the parody of it, it'd be hilarious.

Absolutely but mixture is good too my personal favorite of this would be Lawrence of Arabia Peter O Toole and that score was amazing

Bernard Montgomery was an ant compared to Generals Patton and Bradley

@@robertmiller6876 Montgomery was an ant compared to any common grunt in the Allied Forces doing his duty.

That is amazing.

Mine too! Did you go to hays high school?

Well, you won't tell your grandson you shoveled shit in Louisiana.

George c scott nailed this part like none other could except patton himself.

I am a foreign born American, naturalized United States citizen. I was a soldier, and every time I hear that Speech. I also feel pumped up.

Yep

Right! Sadly, you are correct.

I came to watch this after the Simone Biles news.

@@jchamber73 I came to watch it after the debacle of the USA at the Olympic games. How much America has fallen, ones it was the greatest country in the world. I'm not American but I admire the history of that old United States that at one point in history was the best country in the world because of people like General Patton, General McArthur, Admiral Nimitz and so many others from the military and also from the civilian life.

@@lucianonahuelgomez1374 same. As a Canadian, I pity Americans now. It’s so sad to see how so many of them have deluded themselves or allowed themselves to be deluded by the “Grand” Ole Party.

@@Shadowkey392 I would rather bet on wokes to be the dumbest.

Every time 👊

Yes

That would have been something too see

Ernest, my Dad was. 2nd Armoured Division.

Desperately.

amen to that, theirs to many wimps. lol

Say it louder!!!

when this plays out...soon... you are going to get your wish because this is all that will survive

obama got rid of the generals like this over 8yrs and now look at milly

My uncle was there too. Did not know until the day of his funeral. 18 years old. Montana boy who became a man there under General Patton. God bless them all.

Yes you m were.

My uncle was captured at the Battle of the and blamed Patton, but he was an idiot (uncle not Patton).

Well, sorry, but no, pal. We got our ass kicked pretty hard, and became a satellite country of yours. We got bombed, many of our women at the time got raped, our land was looted. I recognize the honest good intentions of the US at the time, the genuine desire not to destroy too needlessy, and how it could have been much worse with other "winners". I have no problem admitting our system, fascism, was pretty bad morally wise. I am glad we cooperate, today. But.... don't expect much gratitude. Not from me, at least. We lost, we dealt with it and moved on. That's the best you should hope for, after all your country got exactly what it wanted out of us. Honestly, every time i see one of our spineless politician celebrate our loss in the war, i am beyond disgusted. I would prefer if we won, and then managed to get rid of the dictators. Unlikely, so i can swallow our defeat as necessary. But if i get drunk and someone, annoyed by my behaviour, beat me up so much i recover my senses i am not going to thank him. Even if had a point, and then he offered his hand to help me stand up after i surrendered.

@@Origami84 hate to sound like I’m in kindergarten but who started it?

@@nhmooytis7058 Against the US? Technically, the japanese did. And is is not a small technicality: all historians agree that the americans, at the time, were enraged against them and didn't really want to fight in Europe too; a feeling more than reciprocated by the european side of the axis. That said, i think i have been more than clear on how the US was not the bad guy in the war, in fact behaving more reasonably than due. But expecting "gratitude" for your defeater is inhuman.... and unreal.

@@Origami84 FDR did want war despite strong isolationist sentiment in the US and in fairness to the Japanese put the screws to them as to their access to oil. Pearl Harbor was a gift to him. However I grew up with the Rape of Nanking drummed into me by my dad. It’s not like pre 1941 the Japanese were just peacefully minding their own business. And the US also was helping Britain as with Lend Lease before actually entering the war.

To add to this comment, my father was awarded the Bronze Star and he was awarded the Croix de Guerra by the French General Charles de Gaulle right after helping to liberate Paris, France. I still have his military medals.

Yep

our brave war hero president trump would approve.

My uncle,Sgt. George Thomulka, served in the 101st Airborne,506th Parachute Infantry Division in the Third Army under General Patton. He is the only reason why my uncle made it out of Bastogne and the war alive. Uncle George is a piece of our country's history.

@@trump-totalwar6509 Yeah, he led his "ARMY Jan. 6th, from the WHITE HOUSE "BUNKER" > Ole "Bone spurs" .

I’m not going to lie, we do love to fight. It’s not just in our spirit, it’s in our instinct as not only Americans but as human beings.

@@charletonzimmerman4205 I'll just bet your kids gave you a rousing "You tell Trump off daddy!",as if he'll ever read your comment, or mine.

old blood and guts...our blood and his guts...lol

@Movie Account i believe Robert E. Lee's father or grandfather served with General Washington...

I think William Tecumseh Sherman got there a bit before 'Sam' Grant did in the ACR. Probably put it more into practical effect also.

There are only two real rules in war... Rule number one is that people die. Rule number two is that no one can change rule number one.

The only winners in war are banks and military contractors.

@Pedro Ortega No such thing as "was a Marine' They are always Marines.

the only difference between marines and the army is that the marines have a big mouth as you have demonstrated here

@@ImJiom I do not have a big mouth

far better ... hands down far better. Scott's performance of Patton was the best, ever.

Same here. All my class mates got a kick out of the speech.

Today's Junior high kids get to watch "Jim becomes Kim, the battle to Transition". It's almost the same.

My grandfather too combat engineer, with purple heart, bronze star and presidential unit citation...God bless your grandfather and your family...🇺🇲

That is a great movie!! I watch the first time around 15 years ago with dvd.

We have stud generals

You should the speech in it's original text. It's a helluva lot more motivating than this. They had to dummy it down a bit, to avoid an R rating when the movie came out.

@@shanecrowe5955 This scene actually presents a composite from two separate Patton speeches to the troops. The words are indeed those of the General but were not delivered in the same speech. The dress uniform George C. Scott wears for this scene displays four stars. Patton did not receive promotion to the rank of full General until April 14th, 1945 when the war was all but over. He would still have been a Lieutenant-General when he would have delivered a speech to the troops.

I was thinking the same thing

The original speech had a lot more cursing in it which Patton was famous for. For instance he doesn't use the word "Fornicating" in his speech, simple guess at what he said instead that starts with an "F." ;)

I’m not American so idgaf

And that is why you must never give an inch to those people. They are the enemy. Wade into them.

Challenge accepted

When I was a kid, I memorized this speech for a class assignment.

An "initially peaceful protest" of burned buildings and destroyed "Mom & Pop" shops. : /

I'm surprised this is still on RU-vid!

Americans love a winner, and will not tolerate a loser!

Oh they're here, just fighting a different type of war....

Then let us RISE UP and kick FEAR in the teeth!

@@davidhovey6045 LOL sadly you are correct.

Yes it's for everyone and USSR. AT the End of the movie, he want to go until Moscow. He don't want stop at Berlin

@@Jelios As it turns out Patton was 100% right

@@FP194 Hindsight is 2020, but in retrospect it probably would have been better to give the USSR fewer supplies than we did. By the time the Allies were firmly established in Normandy (July '44) the Russians had destroyed Army Group Center on the Eastern front and Germany was doomed. If we gave the Russians significantly fewer supplies the Hungarians, Czechs, the East Germans, Romanians and maybe even some of the Poles could have been spared 50 years of Communism. The Russians wouldn't have broken anyway; their morale was too high. By the end of the war the Red Army was a juggernaut with double the divisions and armor of the Allies in Europe. Patton's idea wasn't feasible in '45.

@@danielwalker6653 When the Japanese surrendered in ww2 the Soviet had a total of about 26,000 tanks and 39,000 aircraft, the majority only just came of the assembly lines in the months after Germany surrendered.... America alone had 63,000 tanks and 146,000 aircraft... The UK had about 42,000 tanks and 128,000 aircraft. The Russian's had more manpower armed in europe, however many Russian's were not Russian, the ethnic Russian population in ww2 was about 110million, 20million less then the USA at the time. Also a standard USA division was about 15,000 to 20,000 men in ww2 the Russian's had about 10,000 to 12,000 at the time, division's are not a good method to figure out the size of an army I believe Russian in 1942 had a a standard division's size of 3,000 men. Japanese division's in ww2 could be as high as 76,000men.... Not all division's are created equal or keep that way in war.

he even refused the oscar he won for it. he knew he didnt need a statue to remind himself. it was a boss performance and he knew it.

Allegedly he didn't like that the Oscars pitted actor against actor for an award.
