> So, in other words, the war was lost because management did not properly align incentives for soldiers with desired outcomes?
The article doesn't posit any reasons why that war was lost, only that the goals pursued by the mutinous soldiers, due to the actually rewarded behavior, were not aligned with the administration's goal of winning.
It could be that the war was intractable regardless, but
widespread mutiny hardly contributes to victory.
