Unfortunately, it's an axiom in Armies that administrators run them in peacetime and it's very hard for warriors to get control in war time. Right back to Rome. Fortunately for Rome, sometimes the troops would rebel and kick out bad Generals. Even in the Civil war, a lot of field officer level got elected. Truman was elected company commander of his Battery at the start of WWI.
