| 5 reasons Russia has lost more generals in a month than US in 2 decades |
| 2022-03-25 |
| [YouTube] As per some estimates, the Russian military has deployed as many as 20 generals were deployed to lead Russia’s onslaught in Ukraine. Out of this, Russia has lost at least 5 generals in fighting in less than a month. By comparison, the United States has lost two general officers during the Global War on Terror which has lasted for more than 20 years- Army Lt. Gen. Timothy Maude was killed at the Pentagon during the Sept. 11, 2001 attack and Army Maj. Gen. Harold Greene was killed in an Aug. 5, 2014 insider attack in Afghanistan. The death of one general officer in combat is an incredibly rare thing, the death of multiple generals is almost unbelievable. This can't be brushed aside as coincidence and multiple factors are at play. In this video Defense Updates analyzes why Russia is losing so many military generals in Ukraine? |

| #10 historically western militaries push down the knowledge to the lowest person so that they know everything they need to do their job. Third world militaries protect such info as some kind of power/status protection and to prevent mutiny's? Apparently the Russians work along 3rd world lines. |

| #8 I wish we'd get rid of Milley. Same for most of the brass. If we'd gotten rid of Tommy Franks 20 years ago we'd be in a better place today |

| #5 ^ maybe if they had tossed the peacetime promotion system and gone full field performance we'd been better off. However, that wouldn't have been 'equitable', not that war is. |

| #4 One could argue that if we had lost (or at least misplaced) a few more generals along the way, then our military would be focused on warfighting instead of woke nonsense. |

| #1 Cause they're doing COL and LTC jobs. When you don't have an effective non-commissioned officer corps, you got officers doing those jobs. When you have LTs and CPTs doing NCO jobs, then MAJ and LTC do the company grade jobs, with COL and GEN doing battalion and brigade jobs much closer to the action. |
