    He was an Anti-Hero. Everyone loved to hate him, even his comrades as he would bait them, then swoop in to pick up the pieces.

    Was watching a documentary about him, granted it is not the same as this book, but the historians etc that were on the show were basically saying that by todays standards, he would have been locked up as he would most probably be clinically signed off as missing a few bolts from the works.
