World War II

Without a doubt the actor George C Scott is best known for his role in Patton. In this movie, Patton was part historic warrior, part cowboy, and part hero. The movie is a Hollywood style documentary of General Patton an American Commander during World War II.

At the film's start Patton stands before a large billboard like American flag and welcomes new recruits that he will be commanding on their missions in Europe. To Patton "War is not about dying for your country. It's about getting the other people to die for theirs." Patton says "We are going to kill these Huns by the bushel." The euphemistic words for the Germans such, as Huns and Krauts remind us of Vietnam films where everyone had a code -name for the enemy.

Patton jokes that with his army and these SS troops that he could push the Russians all the way back to Moscow.

He goes home to do some thinking. He finds a quite spot and thinks and thinks. When he returns he understands that sometimes people have to fight for freedoms that matter. This is where the story gets good. York would make a stupid chicken sound to get the enemy to pop up and see what the noise is. He would then shoot them one by one. In one scene his entire unit is getting shot up pretty bad until York knocks out all enemy machine gun bunkers with nothing but his rifle. Afterwards he claims he killed to save lives; the lives of his buddy and everyone who was dying right and left. York and a handful of men capture more than a hundred German prisoners in one battle.
