Who wouldn't? They change every other week.

They merge, separate, change names. Oh, and there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of them. Used to work on intel side and had to be familiar with many, and I will say that I wouldn't expect a politician to know this. For those who say they need to be knowledgeable on foreign affairs and military, then where does it end: would you expect him to know what sensors are on the M2A3 Bradley, down to the wavelength of the IBAS FLIR? I would see this as a weakness; you have to assemble a knowledgeable team and be willing to trust them to provide accurate assessments and to make decisions at the lowest level. The executive decision maker should be focused on strategic level and must prioritize for critical emerging issues; he can get detailed topical briefings on those issues as they emerge, but he can't know everything all the time, and if he does he is not utilizing his time well. He should be focused on proactive course of action analysis, not memorization of data elements.

Abso-freekin-lutely. Leaders know how to assemble teams that win. The Donald has a proven track record of doing precisely that. I am still in Cruz's corner, but the Donald has been tearing up the circuit. Doubtful that he "stumbled" during this go-round and what is probably his best asset, he knows what he doesn't know and how to correct/compensate for that.
