Remember that it was Patton on the OFFENSE that broke the back of the German offensive. Fighting a defense does not win the war. Same lesson from the Civil War and the Revolutionary War. Well past time for some offensive action or we will be the ones overrun.

The Battling Bastards of Bastogne held that town until Patton’s Third Army could arrive. That was no small feat. It was critical to pushing back the German offensive and breaking them psychologically. It was part of a collective effort, but holding that town was a key element to our victory cannot be understated.

In no way am I detracting from or diminishing the heroic stand in absolutely brutal conditions. This is part of the legend and ethos in the Airborne community today. But defense MUST be a temporary tactic whose purpose is to set the conditions for successful offensive operations. Only offense wins wars.
AATW!

This is timeless and I thank you for posting. Back then, fellow Patriots endured terrible physical hardship, but the biggest battle was psychological as it is even more so today. They are still showing us how to win. Faith, determination against overwhelming odds and a selfless caring for their cause and their brothers in arms. WWG1WGA

From the German Commander's Surrender Ultimatum:
How very similar to the strategies the cabal uses even today. Appeal to the historic, unique American character based on our Christian heritage of love and compassion for humanity Trying to use this tactic to insist we should open our borders, accept unlimited "refugees", pay for healthcare for everyone. Like the Germans who had no problem killing millions who resisted their brutal fascism, the cabal has used our basic goodness and decency against us to destory these very traits. Thankfully a core Patriotic Resistance is waking the rest of us up. Sheep no more.
