He was indeed arrogant, but sometimes a good leader has to be larger than life. ... But the fact is: again typically, Patton's admirers are no more specific in their praise than are his disparagers in their criticism. View quote

The psychological consequences of these acts are the same whether it is named state-sponsored torture or prostitution. View quote
