A military leader becomes more important when running a war. Without wars, military becomes diminished in necessity and stature.
Same reason doctors seldom give you advice on diet & exercise. They give you meds to cure the disease, but not show you how to avoid disease in the first place. If you seldom get sick, doctors will go out of business.
“A military leader becomes more important when running a war. “
Not in out Founder’s system.
A US President running a war is dependent on
congress. He becomes their puppet. He must do whatever they want for their funding. Look at Bush2.
Smart of our Founders IMO.
