eisenhower on one side, patton on the other. patton didn't care for him on account of the general from england. montgomery. general montgomery. montgomery and eisenhower are pretty good buddies. every time patton -- eisenhower would say, george, have you seen eisenhower? he's back there in the car drinking tea. you see him back there. they wouldn't talk the each other. he'd come out, we had that meeting at 3:00 in the morning, we went there and hodges and marshall and brandy was there. we got there and eisenhower wasn't there yet. early in the morning, 3:00 in the morning. i heard eisenhower with the big cadillac, with the big cadillac, you know? where's your garrison hat and patton says where's your helmet you're on the front lines, you wear a helmet. you're on the front lines. he said yep, i don't have to wear it. okay. let me turn the jeep around. so we went back. we left him there. never heard nothing no more from him. nothing. so that was it. i said -- then eisenhower told him, my army is going to take this little town and

patton and -- and eisenhower -- they weren't too good. now, i'll tell you how many jeeps was made during the war? the jeep company made 3.8 million jeeps. the ho company made 2.654 million. right back almost at the end of the war, hadn't -- they had bantam jeep a little smaller than the jeeps they made 285 of them. you know how many jeeps we have running around this country? i took him -- we were hunting in areas to fight. but he wanted to go and find places where we could put tucks to be safe for then vation that we were going to hbastone. and i picked him up one day. the roads are bad. the roads were very bad. i didn't have to hit -- you hit one bounce, you miss two. you hit two, you miss one. you're bouncing around. so one night, i hit the hole. i had a big hole. i must have raised him six inches off the seat. i always wore my helmet, you know? so he didn't say nothing to me. he looked at me. he straignne en streetened up m said, can you see better now? and i used to take him to army hospital -- to the hospitals, you know? that was bad

it was patton's blood bank, that was in england. we were there for a while and everybody is getting together and then our company went up there. i went to two schools before the war. i was in the service in 1941, in april when the war started in '41 in december. and i was in school, i guess they went through my records and found out and they barely picked me. i had a chat with him for a couple of hours, this and that and the other and he gave me a pat on the shoulder, all right, you made it. so i was his driver for the invasion of france until the end of the war. and we were up and down and i did things and he did things that you won't believe happened but i'll try to tell you some of what happened. first, when he met me -- we went -- we had the invasion of france in june 3rd. june 3rd, and the weather was so bad and they didn't know what to do. so they cancelled it. so they had a meeting with eisenhower and bradley and month dpomry month dpomry from england. they had their meeting on the boat and so they cancelled it until june the

general patton and i would be happy to take your questions. thank you. >> what is -- given your description of the lack of clearly defined front lines in the past decade of war, what is the reason for not simply lifting the combat exclusion altogether? >> we have talked about the numbers of positions opened by the elimination of co-location. and then we have the exceptions of policy to the exclusion piece that you've mentioned. that's addressing the top point that prevented women from being assigned below the grig gaed level. what the exceptions to policy do is allow us the opportunity to place women in specialties if they've already been assigned to, been working in but not working at that level below the brigade. it allows us to put women in those positions. in the marine corps, army and navy they're generally mid grade noncommissioned officers or junior officers. as the secretary said, this is the beginning, not the end. what we'll do, we'll be able to look at the experiences from those women, combine that with the collective experiences fr

scott patton, who has 200 acres, is one of many family growers who supply the company with manzanillalives. >> my grandpa started back in the early fifties, and my dad, jim patton, really brought the--and kind of organized the whole orchards and got things going, and... why i like olives? olives are good for you. olives--we were just talking about olive extract. you can eat an olive, and it helps reduce cholesterol. there's a lot of good thin about olives. olive oil--that's a greathing. >> but tell m a little bit--these are your babies basically. >> well, yes, they are. yes. a lot of times you'll get years where there's just aolive here a@d an olive there. but the pollination was great this year, so we have olives pretty uniformly in the--throughout the canopy. so we sell--the majority of our olives go to bell-carter. um, they've been great for the industry, and they produce a great, great product. >> california's weather is perfect for olives, and some of these trees can grow for several hundred years. but you may be surprised to know that harvesting in california is largely done by

(laughter) but what do you really know about the military, general patton? (laughter) help me out, santorum. >> you have men and will together in combat, i think there's... men have emotions when you see a woman in harm's way. i think it's something that's natural, that's very much in our culture to be protective. the issue is how men would react to seeing women in harm's way or potentially being injured or in a vulnerable position and not be concerned about accomplishing the mission. >> jon: that's it. it's not the women! santorum is concerned about the men. (laughter) and how concerned they'll be about the women! like the raid on bin laden's safe house. team of men. land a chopper in the compound. they break in the door. they charge up the stairs. boom, boom, boom. mission accomplished. but imagine a woman was there. they land in the compound. they head off to the safe house. there's a puddle. obviously you've got to do the right thing. there you go. then when they break down the door they go "ladies first." she walks by, the scent of her perfume, he's att

cnn's nick patton walsh is keeping an eye on syria from beirut. >> homs waking again today to the soundsding in the district of bab amer, which has born the brunt of this army offensive. residents around there deeply concerned they're seeing syrian troop and armor movements in the direction of that neighborhood, concerns building over the past few days, heightened this morning that this may be preparations for some syrian army onslaught into that neighborhood that's held out against syrian authorities for so long now. in a different part of the country, i think people in damascus still try to digest the consequences, ramifications of yesterday's protests, shot upon by syrian security forces. originally a funeral it turned into a protest and then scenes around the neighborhood where frankly the presidential palace is nearby, many other ministries as well, i think this may have caused some to feel greater disquiet. the capital normally more loyal towards the regime but after 11 months of economic disruption, the country frankly at a standstill as this conflict violently plays out in many a

who, thanks to his efforts and those who saw the wisdom and what he was urging impressed general patton with with the dedication in world war ii. so he was very much -- president eisenhower was very much ahead of the curve and everyone who wasn't aware of that certainly had reason to figure that out quickly during his administration. because i want to get to the questions and discussion. i just want to focus, as i said on the judicial appointments. dr. specht mentioned some of the crucial judicial appointments who served with great courage. my father reminded us regularly that he and the lawyers and support staff that worked on those cases and literally risked their lives at times had it quite easy compared to their clients who would continue to try to live their lives in the community as lawyers would come and go. the clients and the judges who were trying to protect and vindicate the rights of these clients who suffered the same kinds of indig netty, who had the same rocks thrown through their windows. these judges that president eisenhower put on the courts displayed remarkable dedic

and our nick patton walsh joins us live now from beirut in neighboring lebanon. obviously in beirut, lebanon, because it is just so lethal to be reporting from inside syria. nick, one of the reports i heard this morning is ringing so loud to me that these people inside syria, these opposition members, are so desperate, they're now suggesting they would accept help from israel? >> reporter: i'm sure it will feel that level of desperation. i spoke to an activist inside homes in a district which has borne the brunt of the artillery onslaught. as we spoke again this morning, i think actually more than yesterday we heard artillery shells thump in around him. let me just bring up now that picture of the skyline live showing the thick, black smoke from an oil pipeline that's been hit. the syrian military, syrian government, say that was the sabotage of free syrian army. omar, who i spoke to, said this was an air strike by the syrian military. deeply distressing if they are now using jets against that area. it's been pounded heavily now for 11 days. hundreds dead. omar r

patton and a giant in the free market movement and the presidents of the institute since 1984. >> you also publish books and i want to ask you about a couple of them. let's begin with this one by herbert will work, school choice findings. >> one of the issues of the harlem institute has pushed for decades now the idea of school choice and having money and when that happens, student achievement does rise and so herb will byrd on of our senior fellows is interested in the topic and knowledgeable and was also a fellow at the hoover institution and has written two books on school choice so we can get the public and the politicians the facts about why and how a school choice works for parents and students. >> and the other book he's written about it is called advancing student achievement. where does this one go? >> this is as the title would suggest goes beyond what school choice can do to raise achievement and talk some more detail about how the structure as you need in place to make sure students can achieve more. it's more of a follow-on and more detail in the school choice findings. >

i think it was patton who said give your people clear direction and watch them do it. you'll be pleasantly surprised, and to me that's exactly what it was. give them clear directions and get out of the way and let people get on with that. effects-based operation. but it's not something that every nation can be comfortable. under nato, also the concept of comprehensive approach is one where the acronym political military economic social infrastructure information. these are all aspects. it's clear to me from the start the military campaign, we could control a limited aspect of the military since we did not control or have access to the libyan people on the ground. but it's important to understand, what are the political objectives? what were the objectives of the surrounding countries and what were the objectives and political interest and concerns of the people that are part of this alliance? it's really important to understand that and again, processes are nice but push them aside and try to understand, what are the economic points? 65% of the oil export of libya is f

general patton and i would be happy to take your questions. thank you. >> what is given here your description of lack of clearly defined frontlines and attack ticket were? what is the reason for not simply lifting it altogether? >> we've talked about the numbers of positions open by the co-location and we had the exception of policy to the exclusion pc mention in the top point they are that had prevented women from being assigned it the other brigade level. and so, with the exceptions that policy do is allow us the opportunity to place women in specialties if the authority been assigned to, working in the networking at the level below the brigade. it allows us to place women in this position in the marine corps, navy and army. generally junior officers can't make great officers and officers. as the secretary said, this is the beginning, not the end. we will be able to look at experience is by those women and combine that with collective experiences from the word and be able to inform future policy decisions and changes. >> 18 months ago the mi

our own nick patton walsh is standing by in kabul where this all occurred. >> reporter: a day of much confusing information. what has emerged is two americans have been shot dead on the afghan ministry compound, on a secure part of that compound where western forces have some of their training personnel. the taliban have leaped forward to clean responsibility saying the gunman was working for them, saying he was acting in revenge because of the burning of a koran that happened a week ago on a u.s. air base. that, of course, not something which can be confirmed. they say the gunman was not a werner and he escaped from the crime. this may suggest he is perhaps an afghan and we have heard from across the atlantic a state from the u.s. department of defense that the afghan defense minister pledged to cooperate in this investigation and apologize. but really this plays into the larger issue of trust between americans and afghans. nato, in a real rush here to get afghan security forces ready to take over security to they can begin to withdraw. an instance like this just damaged that vital r
