They have kicked butt because every one of the challenges involved selling. And sex sells.

They prattle on about leadership qualities, like a real leader takes charge, a real leader plans. They don't have the faintest idea how to lead. All they have is business school ideas of what a leader does.

I would like to see any one of them (and The Donald, too, for that matter) in a combat situation as a Platoon Sergeant or a Squad Leader.

The ability to display bravery when you yourself are scared sh**less; To make intelligent decisions while countless distractions of the lifetaking kind are all around you; The making of action plans while your body screams to just hide; The ability to see the overall situation while all about you is confusion; Advising the Commander and helping him make correct decisions; are all what leadership is about.

The Donald would be far better off scouring the NCO ranks of the young men and women in Iraq, than looking to business school graduates.

I would like to see any one of them (and The Donald, too, for that matter) in a combat situation as a Platoon Sergeant or a Squad Leader.

Why? Where is the relevance? I'm sure none of them would acquit themselves well of squad leader duty, but squad leaders are about killing people and breaking things. Trump and his people are about making the deal.

The Donald would be far better off scouring the NCO ranks of the young men and women in Iraq, than looking to business school graduates.

I'd agree if he were planning a "real" hostile takeover, but he's not in that business. In Trump's world, business savvy and smooth fast talking are more useful assets than leadership. It's not a coincidence that every challenge involved selling. That's what it's all about.

I have no doubt that the NCO's you mention could out lead the pampered lot on the Apprentice any day of the week. The question is: Could they out sell them? I'm afraid they couldn't.
