Going Too Far

In a link liked by a former student of mine who has a military career, I found the gem below--an explanation for puzzling behavior.  I've written before about my own similar observations.  The main point of the article interested me mildly--that further research has redefined the role of some of the military figures involved in the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and nearby countries in World War II.  The peripheral information interested me more.  The article is from the New York Times and references below one commander named Montgomery:

"Beevor speculates that Montgomery had something like Asperger’s syndrome, and although one shies away from amateur diagnosis, one suspects that he is right. Oblivious almost to the end of the impact of his arrogance, smugness and condescension on others, he nearly brought about his own dismissal on the verge of final victory over Germany."

Montgomery had flung his army down a single road with a bridge across the Rhine River, which proved to be a "Bridge too Far" in the words of an officer, used later as a book and movie title.  

Just maybe Beevor was onto something, and maybe I'm onto something.
