Well the damage at least seems to be persistent. So it is not unreasonable the cause of the damage also remains. Or the cause was so powerful it made some permanent changes.

When I read general Pattons war as he knew it. The book contained a running account of the casualty statistics. The others listed beyond killed or wounded where a substantial number.

Since he tried to stay attacking as much as he could. May have been mentally far too much for many of his troops. Plus he continually pushed hard in atrocious weather. He had a couple of theories that produced results but at substantial cost to the troops under his command.

Some of the troops developed a slogan. Patton was know as the blood and guts general. His guts and your blood. That was not in the book.
