Erwin Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Good article. Liked the observation: "The answer is to be a “troupier.” In Sir B.H. Liddell Hart’s book The Rommel Papers, Liddell Hart detailed how the German field marshal divided commanders into two categories: office-chair soldiers and “troupiers.” Chair soldiers look on war as a purely intellectual problem; they demand energy and drive only from the troops (not themselves) and blame others for their failures." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
