Doing his job too well.

#3 Did he screw up, or is it the Peter Principle?

When a field commander goes to Mexico City without an appointent, it usually means SEDENA is trying to shield him from getting into trouble. The staff appointment is sometimes a prelude to senior staff work on down the road, so in this cvase whether GeneralAntonio Gonzalez did well may not even be a facotr in his new job.

Then again, going from commanding the equivilent of a combat division to being an accountant with a uniform is not as glorious work:

There I wuz in Mexico City, fighting transpositions and adding errors...

The FNG is from northern Guerrero where a recent controversy erupted involving the Guerrero state police. Dunno if SEDENA does or even how it would figure into the scandal, but if General de la Vega Diaz was moved to a new command because of it, SEDENA may be getting him ready for retirement.
