Patton:
Ah doctor. Medical Corps Major:
Sir. Patton:
I understand you have two cases of self inflicted wounds. Medical Corps Major:
Yes sir we do. Patton:
Uh get 'em out of here. Medical Corps Major:
Sir, one of them's developed a very serious infection. Patton:
Oh, I don't care if he dies, just get him someplace but not here. He doesn't belong in the same building with men who have been wounded in battle. Medical Corps Major:
I'll see that they're moved sir. Patton:
One more thing: There'll be no Battle fatigue in my command. That's an order. Medical Corps Major:
Yes sir. Patton:
Battle fatigue is a free ride, a yellow belly's ticket to the hospital. I'm not gonna subsidize cowardice. Medical Corps Major:
Yes sir. Patton:
Doctor, where's your helmet? Medical Corps Major:
I don't wear a helmet when I'm in the hospital General. Patton:
Start. Medical Corps Major:
I can't use my stethoscope when I'm wearing my helmet. Patton:
We'll, then cut two holes in your helmet so that you can, and get those yellow bellies out of here, today
