Certainly he did, because the truth is often awful. No doubt about it.
Still, an extremely brave man that Gen. Patton was, he did not mince words in this regard.
He loved talking straight, he was not a politician nor a fussy booksmart “intellectual” who pussyfooted around issues.
He was a military man from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet.
And he really had “balls of steel”. He took “feces” from no-one, not from his enemies, and not from his colleagues.
I admire him, and I doff my hat before his memory.
I am right now in the first few pages of “Killing Patton”.
