Thomas Ricks finally sees the light shining inside the drum I've been beating for years.
Howinthehell during the decade of this war, have there not been more general officers cashiered for lack of success?
It doesn't have to be punitive.
Not every All-State football player makes it through the Combine. Not every stud rookie makes it in the pros.
But not many generals get canned for failure to perform. They mostly get canned for unignorable criminal behavior, or monumental lapses in judgement regarding dollars or sex.
But not for simply not.being.good.enough.
They protect themselves well, do the GOFOs.
More scalps, please.
