[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t this the second General who was killed?

Do generals often get killed in wars? I would think rank hath some benefit…[/quote]

Yes, it normally does.  Believe it or not, Generals used to lead from the front and got shot.  If the news is true from Ukraine, it's probably because a sniper found a General.

In the American Civil War, General Ulysess Grant wore a private's smock in battle to prevent this.  [/quote]
The American Civil War was a REALLY long time ago and warfare has advanced, at least in more developed countries, in a way that generals aren’t on the front lines anymore.

[b]But yes, one of the generals was gesticulating so wildly in response to the incompetence that he was noticed[/b] and then picked off by a Ukrainian sniper.

Thanks for affirming my point, but how do you know the General was "gesticulating..wildly..at incompetence?"

More likely his uniform insignia showed up in someone's rifle scope and the trigger was squeezed.  Good-bye, Comrade General.

Various reports have said he went to the head of the convoy and was jumping up and down. I doubt it was for joy.
