Your comments fit with my layman's view that he looks to be a major league politician in his visage. I don't know how the folks on the ground feel about his having their backs, I would not know.
Sorry, a 'Leg' is short for 'Straight-leg' and that means the person is not or was Airborne and never Jumped. Like in Infantry, Artillery, Intelligence (/s), or in an Armored Division. (1)
Those 'old school' officers have little regard for 'specialized units' like the US Army Special Forces. Even Stormin' Norman was known for his disdain of them. That is, until SF units (Special Forces) on the ground in Baghdad sighted the Laser Guided Bombs used in Desert Storm for the Air Force.
(1) Though like I said many 'Leg Officers' would go through Jump School and then get TDY (Temporary Duty) in an Airborne Unit just to get 'their ticket punched' (Resume Enhancer), then get the heck out asap.
