I like general Turgidson.
Funny.
But on a serious note, I think many of these US senior officers today are politicians in uniform, weak when it comes to strategy and real planning (they are no George Marshal), but they know where the social currents are running and will always be in the winning side on social issues... I’m sure Milley is on board with females in combat arms, sex changes paid for by the DoD...

He’s always on what he thinks is the winning side long term.

Beautifully played by Sterling Hayden, who blessed the editors for saving him, as he claimed he was "drunk as a skunk" during the filming.
A neat bit of trivia from IMDB: "Sterling Hayden would have known something about Russian spying that he refers to in the film. Hayden served in espionage for the Allies during World War II. He worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the American wartime intelligence service. He went by the name, John Hamilton. He ferried supplies from Italy to partisans in Yugoslavia and did undercover work in the Balkans and the Mediterranean. Hayden was awarded a silver star for his service."
