us general george patton never allowed himself to flinch under fire, and strongly disapproved of officers taking cover, even during heavy bombing. one day during world war Ⅱ , he found major general terry allen in charge of a camp riddled with slit trenches. "have you got a slit trench too?" he asked allen. "yes, sir, over there." without a word, patton walked over to the trench, unzipped his pants, and urinated into it.
at the end of the war, patton led the allied sweep across france and into germany. shortly after one of his units crossed the seine in northern france, general eisenhower received a formal military report detailing the operation, to which patton had added a note: "dear ike, today i pissed in the seine." several months later, he declared, "today i pissed in the rhine."
