One thing I learned as a commander, your focus on preparing and leading your unit to carry out its assigned missions forces your 'world-view' to become necessarily self-limiting and, therefore, limited, and it isn't until months or even years after relinquishing command that you become far enough removed to realize it
No argument there. That speaks to my original question though...
...after ten years of the same war, why aren't there any senior leaders at the GO level that don't need "years" of reflection to realize that the frontal assault was in fact an attack and not a ruse?



...Hacksaw, you are right on the money.
