Over the years, people have been promoted until they reach a position they are incapable of handling. It is known as the Peter Principle. Maybe, the Major was such a victim.

"The Peter principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn a promotion to a position that requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for the new role, they will be incompetent at the new level, and will not be promoted again. If the person is competent in the new role, they will be promoted again and will continue to be promoted until reaching a level at which they are incompetent. Being incompetent, the individual will not qualify for promotion again, and so will remain stuck at this final placement."

There are many examples of executives who have been promoted and are unnable to perform in their new position.Just look at banks and auto companies.
