[E. Pluribus Unum]

Neither of them can/could tolerate cowards or bulls**t or losing, and the press hates/hated them both.

That's all I meant.

The press didn't completely hate Patton. From Patton: A Genius for War:

Larry Newman later wrote that a correspondent friend had bitterly said on the day Patton was buried in Hamm: Georgie Patton didn't die from an automobile accident. He died of a broken heart when they took away his army... They wouldn't let him speak his mind about the reds and what they had in store for the United States and the free world. I guess it's just as well he died over here. The apologists, the peace at any price cowards, the friends of the Soviet Union, always hated him. And brother, did he hate them! At least he's buried alongside his beloved soldiers who died so those people back home could attack the things patriots love.
