Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Sometimes - as a tribute to Patton - I smack my coworkers around when they complain about being tired of having to work all the time.

A better question would be: "Who is he?"
He has four stars and a chest full of ribbons! [:D]

I have always wondered how in the re-anactor world (and trust me, with some of the clubs I have seen they are really in "their own world") how they rank each other.

Seems like to me, there would be too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

[homer] stupid reenactors [/homer]

I'm waiting for one of those buttons on his jacket to go flying, hes got to suck in his beer belly a little more.

soooo.... 4 stars on his shirt and 3 on the helmet? I guess he borrowed it from an other "reenactor general"

He has 4 on the pot.

You right about the belly though. Seems he has been getting more of his share of rations while "in the field" [rolleyes]....

Yeah, some of them are out there. This was at a public event and I had never seen this guy before. He defintately doesn't fight in the tacticals. My unit keeps a decent rank distribution and we determine it by a point system. You get points by parcipation, gear, physical fitness, knowledge and leadership.
As of right now we have 1 LT. 2 Sgts, 1 Corp,
and 20 or so PFC's and Privates.

IIRC, Patton carried a ivory-handled .357 Magnum and some other revolver. I don't believe they were matching.

View Quote

They were both .357 Magnums; one a Colt SAA and the other a S&W .357 Magnum (now known as the Model 27). Later, due to ammunition concerns (the .357 was still pretty new then and not exactly widely available, especially due to wartime production of other items), he switched to a Remington Model 51 in .380 ACP.

That guy totally lacks Patton's PRESENCE. He looks like the commander of a major warehouse.

And he appears to be involved in a stress test of a pile of coat buttons.

You are exactly right. I saw him in person. The guy had no presence. I don't have a problem if someone wanted to dress up as Patton if there was a reason. But this was a public and then a private tactical at a company to battalion size level. And this idiot shows up like this.

However the postives of dressing up and playing 40's soldier far outway the negatives. I have learned more about WWII history by going out and doing it than I ever did from books.

Pattons pistols are a S&W .357 mag, ivory gripped he aquired in the late 30's. His other one is a COLT SAA .45 Colt (I believe, but definetly not .357) he bought in 1916. Also ivory gripped. The .357 mag caliber was not out until the 30's. I've seen these pistols at the West Point museum. His Colt saa is in the Colt Heritage book by R.L. Wilson

patton carried many pistols, as I remember he was famous for his .45 colt, smith .357 combo. But in other pictures he had a 1911 and sometimes he would carry smaller pocket pistols.

Positive. Patton's Colt SAA was in .45 Colt and aquired long before the .357 was developed.
