re: Which War Would Result In The Most Severe PTSD For Soldiers?

I love the story about Patton slapping the shite out of that soldier in the field hospital in Africa or was it Sicily?

quote:

---

When Patton asked Kuhl where he was hurt, Kuhl reportedly shrugged and replied that he was "nervous" rather than wounded, adding, "I guess I can't take it."[15] Patton "immediately flared up,"[13] slapped Kuhl across the chin with his gloves, then grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the tent entrance. He shoved him out of the tent with a kick to his backside. Yelling "Don't admit this son of a bitch,"[15] Patton demanded that Kuhl be sent back to the front, adding, "You hear me, you gutless bastard? You're going back to the front."[15]
