FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kansas — The Commandant of the Army's Command and General Staff College last week celebrated the school's 72-year record of losing wars, sources confirmed today.
“The record of the late 20th century shows that our curriculum produces consistent results over the decades, allowing graduates of our fine program to lose diverse conflicts across the globe, from jungles in southeast Asia to the deserts of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa,” Lt. Gen. Michael Lundy said, according to transcripts of the speech.
As one of the Army's oldest institutions, it has produced such notable graduates as Norman Schwarzkopf, Creighton Abrams, Douglas MacArthur, and Dwight Eisenhower.
