Several Iraqi officers captured by Marine units during Desert Storm said during their interrogations that it was a common belief that in order to join the Corps one had to have killed one of their parents.

The Nazi's were terrified by General Patton and his army much the same way in WWII.
I believe Rommel refused to believe that the Allies would land at Normandy so he withheld critical Panzers because Patton was not leading the charge.
