My favourite being the guy who had his throat slashed by an SS prisoner he was guarding, survived, recovered, and was thereafter "excused tie" on parade. Subsequently, Gen. Patton shows up to inspect the regiment, sees this guy without a tie and has a shit fit over it.
The guy then produces a letter from the doctor regarding his wound, and Patton buggers off still fuming.

But I've read a fair few of his other works, "Citizen Soldiers" for example.
