George S. Patton

Operation Husky was an invaluable experience for Allied forces in World War II. It opened the Allied forces eyes to the numerous challenges they must face internally before they could hope to be victorious in the war against Germany, Japan and Italy. This essay will show how a failure in operational leadership caused Operation Husky to fail to become the decisive victory it had the potential of being. Essential to command and control is a thorough understanding of the commander’s intent at…

“The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo.” That isn’t particularly smart, considering they are 8,911 km (or 5537.039 miles) apart. So why did General George Patton tell the 3rd Army this? Because they were about to enter into the biggest push of their lives. It was the middle of WWII, and they were forcing Nazi troops out of Normandy. When he spoke to his men, he wanted them to be brave and fight as hard as humanly possible. He spoke with such passion, inspiration, and power that…

George S. Patton once said, ¨Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory¨. Recently, I have discovered many things wrong with my health that has taken a toll on how I think and carry myself. One year ago, I was diagnosed with Stress Induced Atrial Fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmias) caused by high levels of stress. With the fast paced beating comes a sharp pain that has become extremely difficult to endure over the past year. It made it hard to breathe,…

Payton’s Chance “Hold your core, point your toes and land softly like a swan.” Yelled Professor G over and over, Payton decided she would try and block off the world and just dance. Payton was a first year at the Australian Ballet Company. She had clear green eyes with warm brown and gold flecks coursing through them like blood. She had long, silky brown hair that had a slight red tinge to it. All of Payton’s life she had danced. She grew up in a family with all boys; her father and her two…

The Dark Raven – (Jason Helmsman) We’d been patrolling San Diego for Some time our chapter was located in downtown. I felt there was a need for us if I didn’t I wouldn’t have wasted my time. I’d been interviewed on television and spoke to youth summer camps and grade school kids. I never revealed my true identity for any of these appearances and that did peek people’s curiosity a little, maybe. But no one ever really went out of their way to find out who we were. I suppose even though I…

Queen Elizabeth I of England and U.S. Army General George S. Patton were most definitely not around in the same time period. In fact, there is a time span of 356 years from when Queen Elizabeth gave her famous speech to the troops at Tilbury and when George Patton delivered his speech about him gaining command of the Third Army. However, they both had the same goal which was to build a connection with their men which in turn motivates the men. The two just happened to do it in very different…

content of the Inaugural Addresses has also changed. George Washington had to be much more modest, speaking about his personal problems and as much as he would like to rest, his country was calling him. In the beginning with Washington, the issue was that he would be able to turn the presidency…

How to ruin a child In the article it’s told that “the theory that praise, self-esteem and accomplishment increase in tandem is false” (George F. Will). Which is why some children soccer teams stopped counting goals and shower trophies on everyone, or that they even in physical education classes’ students are jump roping without rope. He says children are jumping rope without ropes because of self-esteem obsession and the list goes on, such as opening lunchboxes to find handwritten notes…

For methods of incorporation, the internal revenue code dictates a business entity on how they can benefit the taxpayer in the most tax efficient way.
