The man who did it is flawed
(as in not a white army deserter with a coke and margarita habit) so it's bad.
For example, I'm French, De Gaulle is my fave politician ever. But he was a flawed character:
- He did some spectacular stuff during 1940, but did not coordinate with others or put the right people to take care of his supply chain.
- His nit picking with the English lost precious time that could have been used turning French North Africa against the Axis sooner.
- Leaving NATO was stupid.
- etc.
But what he did right far outweighs this.
