Who's got pretty legs...?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The vintage pinup posters are very beautiful, but I happened to have a weird idea.
The thing is... like... I saw Rommel's legs once, and I couldn't unseen them. What the hell? Those legs are prettier and smoother than mine.
Here's the reference.

As to the cow girl pinup, the reference is Gil Elvgren's pinup work circa 1957.

Do you think, had he not died due to that car accident which left him paralyzed, that Patton would have fought in the Korean War?
I don't think so. He had become hostile to the Eisenhower administration due to his comments and would probably have clashed with MacArthur.
Thanks for the question, Anon.

Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

Kind of ironic that Patton didn’t think Tanks had a future and then went to become one of the finest tank commanders of the US military
That's not ironic, that's just coincidental.
Patton saw tanks, which were only at the time of his request for transfer to Cavalry being used as a direct infantry fire support and constantly being underfunded compared to the infantry itself, as not a place that he could establish a military career. Working with Christie to improve the suspension and reliability of the tanks showed that he understood the potential of tanks, he just didn't want to sink his career with a crappy post that wouldn't have gotten him promoted.
Thanks for the contribution, Anon.
