statistically, yes, and realistically, probably even more charitable than that.
It looks like they also have a three year appointment, idk about re-appointments, but i assume not. Aside from the fact that US generals can’t be appointed. Which you would probably like.
assuming we’re talking about the same dude (Adolf Heusinger), it looks like he didn’t even really do anything? He lead invasions, but that seems to be it, he testified in the Nuremberg trials. He worked in the military prior to the nazis, and he continued to work for the military after the war as well, for west germany.
This either guy (Hans_Speidel) literally tried to assassinate hitler? Looks like he may have had some involvement in the spicy shit, but it seems like he also didn’t really agree with it either. Dude was also jailed by the gestapo.
Neither of these really seem like they would compromise the entire fucking structure of NATO to me.
