One of the most publicized and stark juxtapositions of “standing strong” versus “not standing strong” ever recorded in history is the World War II incidents where General George Patton, Jr. slapped two soldiers during the invasion of Sicily. This is the summary from Wikipedia: “In early August 1943, Lieutenant General George S. Patton slapped two United States Army soldiers under his command … Patton’s hard-driving personality and lack of belief in the medical condition of combat stress reaction, then known as “battle fatigue” or “shell shock,” led to the soldiers’ becoming the subject of his ire in incidents on August 3 and 10, when Patton struck and berated them (in front of other wounded soldiers and medical personnel) after discovering they were patients at evacuation hospitals away from the front lines without apparent physical injuries.” Here is a directive sent to the officers of his command: “It has come to my attention that a very small number of soldiers are going to the hospital on the pretext that they are nervously incapable of combat. Such men are cowards and bring discredit on the army and disgrace to their comrades, whom they heartlessly leave to endure the dangers of battle while they, themselves, use the hospital as a means of escape. You will take measures to see that such cases are not sent to the hospital but dealt with in their units. Those who are not willing to fight will be tried by court-martial for cowardice in the face of the enemy.” What is Creator’s perspective?
