Business as Usual at D.O.D.

Failure of Syria Rebel Plan shows an analytical failure by the Department of Defense that is laughable yet as usual the general in charge gets bumped upstairs and handed a medal. What was admirable about Generals Jack Keane and David Petreaus was the out of the box analysis they brought to the surge in Iraq.  General Nagata on the other hand did what he was told with regard to Syrian Rebel Training without questioning the lack of local political unity and will backing the trainees because any competent counter terrorism analyst should have predicted a Bay of Pigs like failure of the plan.
