Göring built a shrine to a Swedish person so he was quite sane.

However, I don't need to see Bambi to know that torturing animals is "wrong"

No you don't.  The only thing you needed to know was what Hermann Goering thought about it.

Göring was a filthy traitor. 

What would make you say that?  He was loyal to his government to the end.

His betrayal was spiritual. His excessive indulgence in narcotics and general incompetence cost the Cause greatly.

Not especially.  I mean, I suppose he can be faulted for not deposing Hitler.

Battle of Britain? Airbridge to Stalingrad? Tremendous successes.

Peter Principle in action.

A good mid-level manager who got promoted far beyond his capability.

Goering was fully aware that the Luftwafte couldn't do everything.  He wasn't really that keen on a general war.

I would pin Jeschonnek as the ignitor of that debacle. Goring was out of the loop during the intial desicion making.

Goering's attacks on the RAF were actually useful in the Battle of Britain, until they were switched to terror-bombing by a directive from Hitler.  I suppose you can say that Goering's faith in Udet in the pre-war buildup was a mistake on his part.  They were dazzled by how delightfully well the Ju-87 worked, and they ended up with an airforce that was awesome in 1939, but whose infrastructure was too tangled to maintain it into 1941, especially while taking losses.  As for the Airbridge, he had been pretty much removed from the planning process by then, and knew full well it wasn't going to work.

Goering was decent at his job, and an excellent politician.  His problem was that he didn't have the courage to stand up to Hitler or attempt to supplant him.
