In an interview retired US 4-star general Barry McAffry said that the fact that many Russian generals have been killed is a bad sign on net for the Ukrainian cause because it is evidence of a strong will to win in those generals.
Interesting take! My gut reaction is that sounds more like contrarianism for contrarianism’s sake than a thought-through opinion, as I wouldn’t expect the generals to have much choice in where they’re located unless we were expecting them to disobey superiors when their lives are at risk. I might be missing out on some important context, though.
Generals probably have choice about where in the battlefield they are. If they are getting shot by snipers and artillery then that is probably their decision to get so close to the front.

Are there any contrarian 4-star generals?
