    leader = man (or woman i guess) that leads people
    this could include anyone from generals to kings to leaders of Peasant Revolts

    He is the perfect general.

    He's got personality

    Charm

    Skill

    Experience

    Bitch slaps Soldiers

    Always is on the attack

    very charismatic

    Probably the b*tch-slap and the total disregard for anything and anyone except his own ego.

    My grandfather met him once in a field hospital, he was a nice man, complemented him on his good job and left the tent with a Purple Heart in my grandfather's hand. He said Patton was the most aggressive and courageous man he's ever seen.

    Not referring to the Purple Heart cuz' everyone got pretty much got one, but the fact that he met him was awesome tho
