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

This without a doubt is Gary Cooper's best movie. It is an oldie, but it was ok. This film is a film of two parts. The first part of the film focuses on one man's life on a farm. This is a very religious man, honorable, and hard working. As World War II is going on he is drafted into the service for the United States Army. During target shooting he hits the bulls-eye again, again and again. York says "I reckon this gun shoots a bit to the left." His drill instructor has him shoot some more but it's a bulls-eye again and again. It's pretty funny.

After this, York talks to his commanding officer and says that killing is against the book of god. The CO tries to use his limited knowledge of the bible to bring up additional passages to persuade York that sometimes fighting is the honorable thing, but he couldn't. The CO then gives York a book about the history of the United States with information about Daniel Boone and others that fought for freedom so that people could be free to worship as they wish. York is told that he can go home with the book and think about it. If he decides that his beliefs will not allow him to fight then he won't have to.

The film is great in speeches and idealized leadership. Watching the film can help someone to better realize the greatness inside themselves
