“ Understanding the Peter Principle
The Peter Principle was laid out by Canadian educational scholar and sociologist, Dr. Laurence J. Peter, in his 1968 book titled "The Peter Principle." Dr. Peter stated in his book that an employee's inability to fulfill the requirements of a given position that he is promoted to may not be the result of general incompetence on the part of the employee as much as it is due to the fact that the position simply requires different skills than those the employee actually possesses.”

Yep. Dr Peter's book is on my shelf right next to Drucker's "Effective Executive" and W.E.Deming's "Out of the Crisis". As a PMFN, I was introduced to my "hoary " saying by an immensely wise DC2 (ex-DC1 x 2). My position is that Dr Peter came to his principle after meeting DC2 "Spanky" Conley. :-):-)

The crazy thing is they were warned by the State Department that the Afghanistan military was collapsing faster than expected. The crazy rapid disorderly pull out has left hundreds of Americans and thousands of Allies National stuck in Afghanistan. Biden asked the Afghanistan President to falsify the image of what was happening on the ground. I feel Biden and the brass knew.

What if Austin and Milley agreed with the POTUS and endorsed the "plan"?
