Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

Jeep-nuts will recognize this as an interesting photograph. Both Jeeps are shown with their spare tires mounted to the side of the vehicle instead of the rear as they came from the factory. This was an unusual field modification that Patton was a particular fan of and was meant to allow better access over the tail board.
