The opening of Patton, where Patton addresses his off-screen army. This was cleaned up for the text of the REAL speech that Patton delivered in the war. If the movie was made today, all the obscenities would probably be in it, but unfortunately, George C. Scott wouldn't be.
Some choice selections:
"Now I want you to remember that no man ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other dumb bastard die for HIS country."
"There is one thing that you will never have to do, and you may thank God for it. Years from now, when your grandson asks you 'what did you do in the great world war two?' you won't have to say, "well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana.'"
