    Meh, she was a willing member of a brutal organisation that terrorized multiple countries in wars of aggression. If you have more reverence for her then for, say, a Russian naval officer, then you don’t have principles, you just have rump nationalism.

    edit: damn, didn’t realize there were so many fans of the Russian navy here.

      This is about competance and leadership decisions, not moral equivalence fallacies.

        Considering what might be coming, maybe it’s better if America has incompetent military leaders. This is a huge mistake that Hitler didn’t make.

          3 competing possibilities

          • compentent military leadership, but not resisting political leadership: either needs a coup and kill political leader (not likely) or will fail (likely)
          • incompetent ML, and but dumb enough to have their own agenda, crippling the plan (optimistic)
          • incompetent ML, and very submissive, allows the worse the occurs and succeed (bad)

          Hitler did not only have yesmen for his wars. There was even plots against him late in the war and he killed a lot of them too.
