In my experience, I started in my naval career back in 76.
This is the worst set of leaders that I think we've got collectively.
for um for as long as i've been alive i think so i i can't answer your question other to say that it's it's an ex it's a very difficult position to be but also it's an incredible weakness that we have in the west and explains so much of what's going wrong in the west is the lack of high quality leadership and i used to teach leadership
And I look at some of the ways that these leaders are operating, and it's extraordinarily – well, the issue is competence.
And I'm sure some of these are decent people.
They're doing what they think.
But they're obviously not competent.

the measure of success is, was the operation effective?
Was it enduring?
Were the results enduring?
And was it efficient?
Now, on all of the interventions of this century, starting in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and now Iran, we failed at every one of those, I would say.
Some people argue about Syria, although if you think
recreating a caliphate within Syria is a good idea.
That's an open question.
