Keep in mind these are the same people that advised against the Bush Administration's attack plan that drastically cut the invasion time of Iraq in 2003. Those who objected wanted the armed forces to methodically move through the country step by step to remove all resistance. This would've been a terrible strategy that would have allowed the world to watch the USA struggle to fight a third world country.
Are these are the masterminds we expect to get us through a war in Korea? Iran? I highly doubt it.
