...Intimacy generally refers to the feeling of being in a close personal association and belonging together. It is a familiar and very close affective connection with another as a result of entering deeply or closely into relationship through knowledge and experience of the other. Genuine intimacy in human relationships requires dialogue, transparency, vulnerability and reciprocity. As a verb "intimate" means "to state or make known". The activity of intimating (making known) underpins the meanings of "intimate" when used as a noun and adjective. As a noun, an "intimate" is a person with whom we have a particularly close relationship. This was clarified by Dalton (1959) who discusses how anthropologists and ethnographic researchers access 'inside information' from within a particular cultural setting by establishing networks of intimates capable (and willing) to provide information unobtainable through formal channelsDalton, M. (1959) Men Who Manage, New York: Wiley.. As an adjective, "intimate" indicates detailed knowledge of a thing or person (e.g. "an intimate knowledge of engineering" and "an intimate relationship between two people") Ridley-Duff, R. J.

How is your familiarity with Specifically, I am wondering
what is the name of the
cowardly soldier whom General
Patton slapped in the hospital
and what became of him. I
would hope that he became a
good good soldier and went on
to become a great man. I
appreciate you taking the time
to respond.

There were two incidents beginning Aug '44. Patton & medical officer came upon an apparently unwounded man in an Aid Station. Patton slapped him and then issued a Divisional order to the effect that he did not recognoze battle fatigue as a reason for removal from the line. This man had Chronic Dysentary and Malaria so his "wonds" were not evident. The second slapping incident is where he struck a soldier and unholstered his revolver waving it about in the hospital at the man stating that he wished to shoot the man himself. Among other results, Patton had to issue a full apology in front of his troops. It cost him much in his career. An officer striking an enlisted man, not in his direct command, and not in combat showed very poor judgement. He was an emotional and sensitive man, and the thougth of showing cowardice (his own definition of it) was beyond his ability to bear when surrounded by the other grossly disfigured battle casualties. I know of no evidence that they were better or worse off for the incident(s). War is about physical violence, and the incidents were blown out of proportion in terms of their actual outcome. It is no where near the same set of circumstances as an authority figure slapping a child in the safe circumstances of the civilian world. |
