El otro día ví una referencia a un libro de Norman Dixon (1976) llamado On the Psychology of Military Incompetence analizando los por qués de las malas decisiones militares. En él se dice:
After this catalog of incompetence, he addresses how such large and costly enterprises as armed forces can be put in the hands of men of such dubious caliber. Here he discerns a vicious circle: it is people of a certain type who are recruited and promoted, so others either do not apply or languish in insignificant positions. Among characteristics of the British officer class in the period under examination are: a narrow social segment admitted, scorn of intellectual and artistic endeavour, subservience to tradition, and emphasis on virility.
Claramente avisando que el tipo de personas que se pone a cargo enfocadas en mostrar virilidad, desintirés por lo intelectual o artístico y sumusión por la tradición son las llevan a la incompetencia.
