compentent military leadership, but not resisting political leadership: either needs a coup and kill political leader (not likely) or will fail (likely)
incompetent ML, and but dumb enough to have their own agenda, crippling the plan (optimistic)
incompetent ML, and very submissive, allows the worse the occurs and succeed (bad)
Hitler did not only have yesmen for his wars. There was even plots against him late in the war and he killed a lot of them too.
I revere neither the American nor Russian admiral, this isn’t about respect for the individual in question, it’s about the US political class removing competant and capable people because they don’t fit their ideological world view.
This is about competance and leadership decisions, not moral equivalence fallacies.
Considering what might be coming, maybe it’s better if America has incompetent military leaders. This is a huge mistake that Hitler didn’t make.
Lets hope Trump micromanages his military like Hitler did.
