Firing generals in the US Army was very common in WW II, usually for lack of aggressiveness. This also happened a couple of times in Korea.
After that - nothing. Even the debacle in Kabul (where any man of honor would have resigned) - everybody’s good, man!
Firing ineffective generals doesn’t mean you are losing. It means you are serious about winning.
“Firing ineffective generals doesn’t mean you are losing. It means you are serious about winning.”
Agreed—it also means you are paying close attention to what is happening on the ground.
Adjusting tactics to real world conditions is what winners do.
