Amer lost the Sinai to the Israelis for Egypt
Cadorna was the worst general in the war with the most horrible generals, wwi
Charles Alex had a long career stinking up the joint
Charles the Bold boldly pissed off all his neighbors (the PRC should take note)
Ephinston lead 16000 90 miles from Kabul to Jalalabad, only one dude made it.
Lopez attacked Brazil AND Argentina
Percival famously said "Defences are bad for morale – for both troops and civilians". a few months before the Japanese took Singapore.
Santa Anna was nowhere near as good as he thought he was.
Zhao Kuo only lost one battle, but it was a big one.
Hood, it's been argued, cost the South the south.

You probably haven't heard of him, because he lost before any battles were actually fought.

Why no mention of George Armstrong Custer again?

he was only a Col when he screwed the pooch.

Francisco Solano López should get honorable mention.
