The only way to have a sanely functioning organization is to constantly be at war with real, threatening opponents. Since for militaries that's a non-figurative war, we mostly prefer they be stupid.

The main problem is: how would you know the "right Mitchell" before the battle ? In France pre WWII de Gaulle was advocating for Battle tank creative use. No one listened to him before he was in London and the country ruled by Nazis.
