SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth Bull Halsey immediately comes to Mind, He lost an entire fleet to the Weather. He was Forgiven.

SPC Erich Guenther
Which item? Slapping the person with a mental issue or issuing the take no prisoners order that led to two seperate massacres of unarmed POW's in the invasion of Sicily by US Troops?

Both the troops he slapped had significantly more total time in actual combat than Patton every gained. Since when is slapping someone a cure for combat stress?

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - What Erich was talking about in Sicily is a style we executed Germans and Japanese for using just a couple of years later
