HE WAS A NARCISSIST !!!!! THAT is what got ALL of them into trouble!

HE had NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER. It's really that simple.

It wasn't about "firepower" or "positioning" or "underestimating"........or "misinformation"............................
it was all about "him". Ever met any of those people? "It's all about me"?
If you've ever had to work with one (or serve under one) or been/are married to one, then you'll KNOW what that means. In the mean time you can google NPD and all the criteria that need to be met to be "classified".
