Besides, you definitely had to be a grade A assfuckstick for even Eisenhower to hate you.
Oh, wait...
Eisenhower hated everyone and everything, except for his mistress.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I'll get it if it's in paperback.
Any historian that puts Monty properly in his place as a colossal assfuckstick earns my money.
You do realize that the reason he took so long to take Caen was that he took a timeout to rescue some kittens that the Germans had put up a tree, right?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Michael Wittman proved otherwise in one afternoon.

Yes I very much enjoyed his post-war memoirs
" SIR – I must commend you on some of your recent obituaries. I was delighted to read of the deaths of Foday Sankoh (August 9th), and Uday and Qusay Hussein (July 26th). Do you take requests? "
