Anyone remember the movie about Patton with George C. Scott?

Well, to the chagrin of a few folks that I know, my favorite part was when he slapped that soldier who was in the hospital with [combat fatigue?].

Patton thought he had no business whining about his problems when REAL men were lying around him wounded from battle. . . .

I loved it. Too bad he was made to apologize.

This is a good book. It's also available on audio cassette. The author will be on C-Span's Booknotes program later this month.
