  2. And some of those generals/admirals are still able to rise high. Grant and Sherman were good examples of this, both started their careers well and by the time the American Civil War began they had fallen by the wayside only to become the two best union generals by the late part of the war (hell, it could be argued that Sherman taking Atlanta and Savanna is what actually secured the union victory)
