That Glass Ceiling: It's Hardened, Bullet-Proof, Reinforced with Kryptonitium + Carbon Nano-Tubes

So often, career generals and admirals are donkeys as leaders. Braying, conceited, misguided, and misguiding; they are disasters. Age has wearied them, the booze and good living has debilitated them, even battle trauma has dulled the intellect. Hubris, inevitably, has dripped its acid on their brass. Worst of all, though, they were trained to fight the last war. And, since officer training stresses stalwart belligerence rather than nimbleness of mind and, even though they may well have been ideally suited to the wars of their younger days, in the fast-changed world, they have become fossils, relics, out-of-date.
