During World War I, German General Erich Ludendorff famously observed, "the English fight like lions."
"Yes," a staff officer famously replied, "but they are led by donkeys*."
History does repeat itself.
* The staff officer was NOT referring to contemporary American political party symbolism. He was referring to the caliber of those in command (such as a commander-in-chief, for instance.)
