The mine field and the General Part IV

130Liberty_small.JPGSuppose our enemies, in a surprise attack, planted a mine field between a local unit of our army and one of its objectives. The leaders of the army had the equipment that, if given to the local unit, could safely get the local unit across the mine field.  For reason known only to the leaders of the army, they did not supply the local unit with the equipment to safely cross the mine field.

If the leaders of the army tried to blame the local unit for failing to reach the objective, what would you think of them?

 

If the leaders of the army try to scapegoat the local unit for not reaching its objective, what would you think of such leaders?

But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
