It is amazing how often stellar peacetime generals are found wanting in war.

The lesson is that the skills required for success in peace often don't translate to a wartime situation.

Or conversely, the skills required of a successful wartime soldier are often not identified in a peacetime army.

I wonder how Gen. Milley (supporter of woke education, masterful leader of the Afghan debacle, and Chinese communicator extraordinaire) would have done in war.

I suspect that he (and we) are lucky that he retired.
