The warning from history is that:

Hitler was a brave and decorated enlisted soldier of WWI.

Didn’t help him when he became leader of German.

And he had no compassion for the suffering of soldiers and civilian directly affected by his decisions.

Hitler managed to get a reputation for bravery in WWI. A recent study suggested that a lot of that was fabricated—by Hitler himself.

Yes he was, and I found it remarkable that he was turned down for promotion to Sergeant, with the reason given that he lacked the ability to lead.

Are you trying to say that Chuck Hegel could be an honorable veteran without being well suited to shepherd the US military?
