History has shown clearly that generals don't make good Presidents. Why

would
somebody whose occupation is a soldier be better/worse than anybody else

for
President?


Had to do a little research when I could only come up with a few Generals
who were President. See
http://www.journaltimes.com/articles...iq_2641489.txt which
includes reference to their rankings in SRI Survey of U.S. Presidents,
http://www.siena.edu/sri/results/200...entsSurvey.htm.

BTW, 12 presidents out of 42 were generals.
