A general has the common skill set as any CEO today; operates a budget in the millions, leads thousands, ensures command structure is in place and moral is high, commands a company if you will with directs of directs of directs. A large number of Generals go on to lead successful business lives when they retire.
So what skill set is lacking? I’d take a general who has actually led over a politician with a law degree who has been spooned their entire lives and told how great they are. I’ll take a general everyday of the week and twice in Sunday. See a general has had to climb through the ranks by displaying clear leadership evidence and attributes
It’s the “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail” problem.
Generals should manage armies and navies.
What skill set is lacking? Seeing citizens as superior. Understanding that what we want comes first and not seeing everyone as a subordinate. That’s the main thing they lack.
That is a 8.0 Richter scale disaster.
Me too. Ike was a good president. He left us alone, built the national highway system and deported wer backs.
