LTG Patton, the Infamous Slapping Incidents, and Changes in the Army's Approach to Combat Psychiatry

TW: This episode does mention suicide at least once in reference to someone Patton knew. In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Sanders Marble from the Army Medical Department Center of History and Heritage. Dr. Marble helps tell the story of the infamous slapping incidents involving LTG George Patton during the Sicily Campaign in 1943, but he doesn't stop there.
