Did he actually do anything wrong? What would you have done differently? It's easy to criticize with the benefit of hindsight. It's much harder to be the man who actually has to make the tough calls that get shit done.

Trying the same thing time and again, whilst expecting a different outcome is insanity.

>Did he actually do anything wrong?
Yes, plenty. Tactically speaking he was barely mediocre apparently, and certainly I don't know enough to criticizre that, but the real problem he had was personnel management: he was convinced that most of the officer corps was made of inexperienced and incompetent fools, which he fired for no reason whatsoever. While for the most part he was kinda right in his assessment of the officers (the replacements were usually more qualified), this destroyed both morale and initiative in the officer corps, who never knew whether doing or not doing something would get them fired, so they were tentative or downright inactive as a result. Paradoxically he was also extremely lax in controlling the officers he actually liked, who consequently basically did whatever the fuck they wanted with no coordination between them (which was basically the reason Caporetto happened).

IIRC he also had this bizarre view of his soldiers which demanded they be kept in spartan, borderline deprived conditions, with very few, if any, amenities.
