4 paragraphs and a headline saying the same damn thing. Poor writing at best but probably Pulitzer style with today’s “journalist”.

But he has all those medals. The more medals the more competent, right?

What exactly were they supposed to do to show this strength? They were supposed to NOT constantly bump into each other, run aground, make public laughing stocks of themselves, etc.
Pretty low "bar" to clear - but they didn't manage it.

“Vladimir Putin today dramatically fired an admiral in charge of his Pacific Fleet in a sign that the Russian despot is furious that military drills that were meant to send a message of strength to the West were a flop.”
LOL

If so, then North Korea is filled with military geniuses.

and has been shifted to a backroom role in Moscow in charge of military sports training and patriotic training. Don't have the men and women compete directly and stay out of tall buildings with windows and you'll get many more medals, comrade.

to be fair.
I have more Medals than
Eisenhower.
I was and am an E5.
Eisenhower was a desk jockey that kept
a complex war machine together.
Not to take a way from him or his skills.
Battles do not win wars, logistics do.
“D-Day” was pretty deadly and impressive, but it only worked due to logistics.
I’m sure the guy on the right earned his stuff but his politics suck.
I would not trust his judgement any where, any time.

Decamping from Afghanistan was largely a logistics effort. He failed massively.

Not necessarily true; Shiogu has even more medals - but they are commemorative cardboard medals ...

They show the status of his ability to steal stuff - the more medals, the more he can steal.

My thought exactly.
Some time back, I enlarged a Nork General photo and had a good close look at the ribbons signifying all those medals.
One officer had 12 identical ribbons indicating he had been decorated with 12 identical medals. Another officer had 10 identical ribbons. Then there were several ribbons that were say only 4 or 5 identical medals.
So, the General was decorated, literally, with 17 ribbons of only two types.
