Well John,
I think you need to find a stronger argument and I’m sure that there are many...
I’ll close by saying that George Bush only made it to 2nd Lt (O-2), his father made it to Lt (O-3) even though he was awarded a DFC and Ronald Reagan only made it to Captain in the Army Air Force (also O-3). Does that mean that they were all ineffective as officers?
Have a nice day.
