Temper for sure! I knew a Military Intelligence officer who was with him in the Gulf. Did not particularly want to be on his staff, because the general had fired him once previously--but he asked for the officer in question by name. Fired him again during the Gulf War. Rehired the next day, both times. As Greg indicated, he was quick to anger, but often got over it quickly too.
I remember his description of Saddam Hussein, based on the latter's strategy: "The world's dumbest military genius."
