I thought the discussion of the relief of generals started slowly but got much better. By the way, I haven’t checked all the files, but if memory serves, this is the biggest number of comments we’ve had on any post in the history of this blog. Special thanks to “Pete,” “jsinaiko,” “Rubber Ducky,” and “JPWREL” for their meaty comments.
