Quote:If I understand well, the main cause of the defeat of the Late Roman army was bad generalship or other "extern" causes, no?

No, the bad generalship was the main cause in losing battles, the main cause for the final demise of the army in the West I'd say was economics - too many wars, not enough men, not enough money.
