The most important part of being a general is:

Explaining battle tactics on a date.
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Montgomery#Marriage_and_family
>In 1925, in his first known courtship of a woman, Montgomery, then in his late thirties, proposed to a 17-year-old girl, Miss Betty Anderson. His approach included drawing diagrams in the sand of how he would deploy his tanks and infantry in a future war, a contingency which seemed very remote at that time. She respected his ambition and single-mindedness, but declined his proposal of marriage

knowing there will be casualties and sacrificiing some men may save even more men

>One incident that illustrated this occurred during the North African campaign when Montgomery bet Walter Bedell Smith that he could capture Sfax by the middle of April 1943. Smith jokingly replied that if Montgomery could do it he would give him a Flying Fortress complete with crew. Smith promptly forgot all about it, but Montgomery did not, and when Sfax was taken on 10 April he sent a message to Smith "claiming his winnings". Smith tried to laugh it off, but Montgomery was having none of it and insisted on his aircraft. It got as high as Eisenhower who, with his renowned skill in diplomacy, ensured Montgomery did get his Flying Fortress, though at a great cost in ill feeling.[194] Even Brooke thought it crass stupidity.

Logistics:fight me if you dare,fagit

This man is correct, as long as your generals are not criminally incompetent you will win any war with superior logistics

More important question, why do they both look like burn victims?

The truth as terrible as it may seem. What stopped Hannibal from making Carthage the center of the world.

Logistics and successful execution of strategic goals

Being old.

Horseback riding

Using both slashes / / and having tripfags

How politically hard it is to get rid of you

This user is right. The cooler the hat, the better the general.

Violence of action.

Also deception and winning the war with politics, not just combat. Machiaveli and Sun Tzu.

literally talking about Patton you mongoloid.

To preserve the lives of his men as best he can, to inflict as much damage upon the enemy as possible, and to do all of that while using what he has, and coordinating with logistics
Scratch all that
Just the FUCKING LOGISTICS

Cringe

Lead from the front.

Accepting that you will invariably cause some people to die.

Looking aesthetic so you gain a folowing of fat virgins 80 years later

Mah space nigga

Fight when you can win. Retreat when you would loose, regroup and fight later when you can win.

I'm talking about Patton

logistics is probably higher than even grand strategy
since the capabilities of your country to make war and supply their men will greatly dictate who, what, and where you make war with

the allied grand strategy of germany first was ultimately rooted in the fact that germany had much greater war making potential and industry and could be fought without island hopping

To never order your army to do anything that you wouldn't lead on the front lines yourself.

>since the capabilities of your country to make war and supply their men
That more has to do with wartime economics than military logistics which is concerned with transporting supplies to the troops.

Unity of command, and not having to struggle with other generals for control of your forces and strategy.

kek'd

I'd agree if it was a British or American general but to be zukov and do that just makes you look even more stupid than your strategy already did.

Lol no, grand strategy cant even be discussed until you have figured out your logistics. A ridiculous example would be of course country with billions of raptors and lasers but little manpower, will have a grand strategy around laser raptors, and developing tactics around their use most likely.
