I think a lot has to do with the kind of people a 'leader' surrounding the leader. When it's military people the person excels as a military person. OTHO, when it's cowardly, left wingers the person excels as a cowardly left winger.

I use quotes around the word leader because I don't feel a person like this is ever a leader. They might be in a position to be in charge, but they are not leaders. Leaders believe in something and have the ability to convince those around him or her to help.

I would be surprised if this guy was ever a leader. Ollie North, OTOH, is a leader in every sense of the word.

Your comments on the nature of leadership, at 38, are right on the mark. This clown, regardless of rank, cannot be considered a leader.
