I am sure Cain knows the number of states we have...That puts him way ahead of Obama.
Actually instead of second guessing the military and pretending to be the smartest guy in the room like Obama, Mr. Cain would probably let his generals conduct the wars with little or no interference other than his informed approval.
The commander in chief does not need to be involved at the tactical level and shouldn’t really be all too involved at a strategic level.
Any president who directs a war at the battalion level is doomed to lose a war (black ops are an exception).
