‘Toxic Loyalty’: “Blind loyalty to bad leaders and protected employees irrationally serves the ego—and has disastrous implications on company culture and the bottom line.” Toxic Loyalty, according to Fastcompany.com, has 3 general facets that can drive others to support generals irrationally: 
  1. Individuals who have been with the organization for a long time  
    2. Individuals who played a key part in the organization’s success at some point
  3. Individuals who are close friends or family members1

This article will focus on the past military heroics of today’s generals that is a likely basis for irrational support despite their current lack of adequate performance.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Keeping "leaders" around based on past accomplishments is nothing but a form of DEI.  If that weren't true, one Benedict Arnold would be today considered a hero instead of a traitor as he was Washington's favorite general at one point. :pondering:
