A Comment

The title of general as given to members of the Jedi Order is as best a courtesy.

The actual practice of generalship as it evolved in the Twentieth Century basically involved the general standing over a table with a map and some telephones as he received information from and gave orders to staff officers. Even Erwin Rommel, who had a reputation as a lead from the front general, did not actually lead a charge in person as a general officer.

It would appear that the clone officers of the clone army did a better job of leading than the Jedis who were granted the title of general.
