Ive often wondered this as well. Many thoughts/opinions on it-
The Legions were pretty much seasoned men. They knew when they had craptacular leadership. However, I believe that these men saw it more as fortune or fate- simply they were meant to die in a battle- good or bad. There probably wasnt as much "armchair generalship" taking place like you might have in modern times because news traveled slower and a "spin" could be put on a disaster if needed. I also think people back then just looked at things differently- as I stated above- it was fate that lead us to Tuetoberger, etc.
