Questions
If you have any questions

54. General George S. Patton Jr.
“It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to wear the proper uniform can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duty by correcting small violations and in enforcing proper conduct are incapable of leading.”
General George S. Patton Jr.
