Both these stories make a good point that seems to be often missed by those who attempt to blame the world's ills on civilian politicians. Internal politics within military organisations is also rife with division and petty jealousies. Self-publicists like MacArthur and Montgomery cost the lives of many ordinary men when the plans overreach their abilities, yet they are remembered much longer than the commanders who just got on with the job.
Just a thought
