Lee, Rommel, and Hannibal are excellent examples of mediocre generals. ( thank you for mentioning Rommel - I was thinking of Manstein. - there are other two are classic losers) all had one strategy to common: desperate attacks disregarding human life. Berserker strategies gain battlefields but lose wars.

@SteelJustise @SantiagoAuFund Absolutely. I am hardly a true student of military history. I try to stick simple undeniable fact: Napoleon was defeated. If you think that’s the greatest military genius couldn’t figure out that winters in Russia are cold… well, I could’ve told him.

@GoldToSurvive @SantiagoAuFund Some general accomplish their strategic aims, though they often retreat in the process. Some fail no matter how many battle fields they gain by marching their soldiers to slaughter.

@GoldToSurvive @SantiagoAuFund True. I mostly having fun making things up here . But two things I didn’t make up: 1) Napoleon lost and got exiled 2) Napoleon got a mulligan and lost again

I am not saying that Kutuzoff was great - he was also mediocre. But he still wiped the floor with Napoleon in the end. It doesn’t matter how many battles you claim to “win” but by marching your troops into the gunfire. What matters who is being used a mop in the end. The fact that Napoleon almost failed to escape at Berezino only underscores his abysmal record.

@UreshP @paulthomasloan Oh well. My back disagrees with jiujitsu now. But being looking good is what mattes! ( kidding, what matters is to be happy with your family).

@JohnFMauldin I often get frustrated over that. Especially since I don’t see the commercial reason for making movies based on mediocre plots. Shows and movies based on significant books ( e.g. LOTR, Dune, Expanse, GOT, TWOT, actually do well!)
