Wow, very highly intelligent quote from a very highly intelligent and war-wrinkled military man - an MG to be exact. Well-spoken. Keep it up Sir. Your men surely will have answers for the future.
Such being the case we do not need Generals at all.
Even Benito Mussolini, Rommel, Douglas Macarthur, Moshe Dayan, Patton, Sherman, Yamashita and Westmoreland is no match to these Great Ex-MG.
Why??? - Because these war leaders were fools to be in the thick of action with their men.
Instead they should have remained seated in their comfy offices and wait till being elevated by Hitler, Dwight D Eisenhower, Hideki Tojo and Ben Gurion into political appointments like Ministers , PMs or President.
