You’re right it was General Patton, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton_slapping_incidents https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_S._Patton_slapping_inci.... However the point was not Patton did wrong, as I mentioned I believe he just wasn’t aware. The point was people have massively different reactions to emotional stress. This is why two people with identical wat experience may or may not get ptsd. Training for emotional stress has limits. You keep saying you wouldn’t want to change the virtues of these leaders. I’m trying to say (forget Patton) most times their virtues don’t come inherently from being an asshole. Their virtues come many personality traits, strength, courage, talent. We don’t have to, and shouldn’t give up thes virtues. That doesn’t meant they can never be optimized.
