I wonder if there are any colonels that think russia can lose the war....

this general and lieutenant general seem to think so. do generals count or are colonels smarter?

I forget how all that works....

Generals at that level are politicians

And there's barely been any good ones since WWII

The whole thing is a Gordian Knot. Generals cover down on DC consensus. They almost never resign instead of carrying out policy they disagree with, but they rarely disagree because war is a great career opportunity and R&D opportunity for the defense industry where they intend to work when they retire. Or they become lobbyists. The Cincinnati are long gone.
