General George S. Patton

This guy had a brutal management style. But millions lived, who would otherwise not have survived the ravages of WWII because of his audacity.

Christ says to turn the other cheek if someone offends you. Practical advice to exterminate the pattern of revenge and retribution.

So often it is the opposite tack from what our ego demands, or comfort level urges, that is the prudent course of action.

Patton offended his peers, his superiors, and his men. But his passionate and forthright actions saved the world. Thank God for assholes like General George S. Patton.
