Generals know wars and rise through the ranks by surviving battles and hardships. "The object of war," US General George Patton reportedly asserted, "is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."
Surviving hardships in war or peace while colleagues (known as 'intakes') are weeded out, is thus a criterion for becoming a general. The weeding out may be due to death or incapacitation in battle, failure to measure up to military expectations, or political mischief at the top.
