That doesn't say that military folks turned politicians are necessarily "better!" It takes a true military person (i.e., Eisenhower) to oversee the military as Commander-in-Chief. Non-participating Reservists (i.e., GWB) have, in my view, virtually no qualifications for the job!

'Nough said!

Didn't say they were the best, not by a long shot - but the person who thinks they "understand" how, when, why, how much, what kind and when not to commit the military to anything because they have a glib catch-phrase and "advice" from others of similar ilk definitely miss the mark....
