Puller was an extremely loyal family man. while Patton was a brilliant academic, a master of world history.
Nowadays they are "psychopaths." If that's the case, we need a whole lot more psychopaths in the Pentagon and in charge of our combat soldiers.
Today's military leaders are not war ready leaders. They are pansies by comparison to the likes of Patton and Puller, except for a very few.
So who would YOU follow into war? A so called psychopath who gives one the best chance to come out alive, or a pansy who would sacrifice your life for some arcane political principle? I'll take the so called psychopath as my leader every time, thank you very much.
