No one could have all the experiences necessary, by the manner in
which you make definitions, to be president. Global strategy is only
one arena. How about global economics, global environment, global
health, global education, etc. That's why presidents have advisors at
the cabinet level and below.

No new enlistees go to the War College. Only officers go to the War
College, usually Lieutenant Colonel and higher. I've never heard of a
Major attending. If a Lieutenant Colonel attends, he/she has probably
been selected for promotion to Colonel.

I understand who goes to the war college. And, you've proven my point. A
select few get there. My contention is that if they've been through it,
their opinions may be somewhat more valid than yours or mine. That's all.


Doug, my point is: If this essay had been published in almost any
other publication, we most likely would never have heard of it. The
article became famous because the Washington Post noticed it was
published by the Army War College. Note that none of the other
articles (which may be found at:
http://www.carlisle.army.mil/usawc/p...rs/a-index.htm) have ever
received such spotlighting.

Could it be because they have different messages, ones that don't
correspond with the agenda of the Washington Post?

Of course, John. If you want a news source that's unbiased, you'll need to
find one that's managed by robots. And even then, the programmers of those
robots would be suspect.
