If the strategy has changed dramatically, why were they pursuing a failing strategy for the past three years? It's indicative of incompetence. By the standards now being implied, FDR and each of his generals would have been convicted of incompetence, and "no-confidence" motions would have been passed in 1942. The mistakes of WWII were horrendous, and caused unnecessary casualties in the 10's of thousands. People had more mental toughness in those days. They also could conceive of the costs of losing the war.
