You Too Can Smell Like A WW2 Hero: Smell Like Patton!

Feuer Frei! · 08-09-11, 07:51 PM

Did General George S. Patton smell like blend of lavender, citrus, coconut, cedar, sage, tonka bean, bergamot and lime? And what Pentagon official decided to license the scent in the first place?
Congrats to Military Times who discovered a two-year-old product that none of us had ever heard of, write a really funny article about Patton (the scent) and have it go viral with a big article in the UK’s Daily Mail. If you want to smell like Old Blood & Guts yourself, there’s still a few bottles available on clearance at Amazon***8203;.com

Is the Patton still Pending?

I always got a kick out of Stars and Stripes cartoonist Bill Mauldins' portrait of Patton when he served under him. Mauldin observed; "I always admired Patton. Oh, sure, the stupid bastard was crazy. He was insane. He thought he was living in the Dark Ages. Soldiers were peasants to him. I didn't like that attitude, but I respected his theories and techniques he used to get his men out of their foxholes."

General George Patton once summoned Mauldin to his office and threatened to "throw his ass in jail" for "spreading dissent," this after one of Mauldin's cartoons made fun of Patton's demand that all soldiers must be clean-shaven at all times, even in combat. But Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander European Theater, told Patton to leave Mauldin alone, because he felt that Mauldin's cartoons gave the soldiers an outlet for their frustrations.
