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. In the movie Patton stands tall and proud as his jeep travels the encampments of his troops with Ivory gripped pistols in there holsters. In one scene Patton visits a hospital and notices that the doctors are not wearing helmets. He is told that they can not use their stethoscopes if they wear helmets. He tells them to drill holes in their helmets so they can. Being a coward was unacceptable to Patton. He threatened to shoot a soldier in the hospital for refusing to get to the front and fight. Ult
