However, being a good trainer doesn’t translate into being a good battlefield commander.That's right. Just take the case of Capt. Sobel as another example.

Ol’ Herbert came instantly to my mind, also.

I was thinking of Sobel as well. I’m not sure Dick Winters could’ve done as well training Easy Company. Sobel would’ve done better if he were promoted and given command of a training Battalion at Benning.
