Patton was a bit of an eccentric in that regard.
"No bastard ever won a war by applying cologne on himself. He won it by applying it on the enemy."
"An army is a team. It lives, eat, sleeps, smells as a team. This "Obsession by Calvin Klein" stuff is just bull&^!@."
"It is absurd to believe that soldiers who cannot be made to use the proper cologne can be induced to move forward in battle. Officers who fail to perform their duties by correcting musky man odors and enforcing proper BO are incapable of attracting the ladies."
"May God have mercy on my armpits, because I won't."
"Wars may be fought with deodorants, but they are won with antiperspirants."
"A pint of cologne will save a gallon of shampoo."
"Magnificent! Compared to Clive Christian Imperial Majesty for men, all other forms of cologne shrink to insignificance! God help me, I need a book deal to pay for this!"
"Cheap spray-on colognes are monuments to the stupidity of man."
"And when we get to Berlin, I will personally make that paper-hanging son-of-a-bitch Hitler FABULOUS!"
