I can somewhat understand Hötzendorf and Cadorna, but why Westmoreland? I'm hardly a great expert on Vietnam war but to me it always seemed that it was more or less unwinnable from the USA side if you take into account the political situation and the constraints any American commander operated under which were set by civilian leadership.Whoever commands as the real military authority over that army will definitely go down in the annals of history and on the list of most incompetent generals ever alongside the likes of Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf, Luigi Cadorna and William Westmoreland.
Slightly off topic I guess, but I'm genuinely interested.
