Interesting high school experience. Not many people get to work out leadership principles, cause and effect, the hows and whys of success and failure, while still in high school.

Quite a step forward to have gotten some of those mistakes out of the way so early and in such an environment.

A JROTC sanctioned, military hierarchy, adhering to an honor code and learning to live with respect for the chain of command, and all at a young age as you do in a military school, seems like a great place and way to learn those basics of leadership, much better then and there than later in the real world where the mistakes hurt for real.

No matter what WaPo says and whatever his record of successes and failures in high school might be, I see Trump's high school days as a major advantage over the rest of the field.

Everything I needed to know about leadership I learned as a Patrol Leader in the Boy Scouts.

Nice summation.
