No. I want you to remember that no ******* ever won a war by dying for his country. You wanted by making the other poor dumb ******* die for his country. Man. All this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight I wanted to stay out of the war is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight all real Americans love the sting of battle When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. Now I wouldn't give a hoot in **** for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war because the very thought of losing is hateful. Two Americans, now an army, is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating. Now we have the finest food and equipment. The best spirit and the best men in the world. Do you know my God, I actually pity those poor bastards were going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're gonna murder those lousy hun bastards by the bushel. Now, some of you boys I know are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them, spill their blood, shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do Now. There's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we're holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the hon do that. We are advancing constantly, and we're not interested in holding on anything except the enemy. We're gonna hold on to it by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ***. We're going to kick the **** out of all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose. Now, there's one thing you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. 30 years from now, when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you, What did you do in the great World? War Two? You won't have to say, Well, I shoveled **** in Louisiana. All right, Now, you sons of *******, You know how I feel? No. I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle any time anywhere, that's all.
