With the exception of Washington, generals generally don’t make good Presidents.

Ever hear the name Andrew Jackson?

You sure do like dead guys for President. Is that why your pimping McCain?

Not to pick nits, but Jackson was a militia general. He became head of the Tennesse militia to further his political career as a frontier lawyer. Events (the Red Stick War & War of 1812) thrust him into prominence.

Career generals tend to be less successful. Jackson was more 'unconventional'.
