I am reminded that 82 years ago today, Operation Overlord kicked off. The crusade to retake Europe focused on five beaches on the Normandy coast.
Eisenhower had prepared a press release in the event that the landings failed. He was prepared to accept full blame if the operation failed. That was the ethical choice. He was the Supreme Commander. It was his show.
We can draw parallels to more recent military disasters and the lack of accountability.
