The thing that bothered me about Kuhl was that post bellum he seemed to relish in the "fame" of having been slapped around by GSP, from what I have read. It was as though he took great pride in being involved in the incident. I don't think the other wanted anyone to know of his involvement.

Imagine a modern version of the same incident.
The slapped could probably do rather well from the ensuing circus, and the General would immediately be in exceptionally serious trouble.

He did not slap 'cowards', the 2 better known of his 'slapping incidents' (Kuhl & ??, can't remember the other name) were suffering from battle fatigue, a condition largely accepted by that time....

Exactly, Adam -- sorry that I wasn't more specific in my post. It was exactly the fact that these men were not cowards that caused the furor and resulted in Patton being "punished" for his action.
