I don't think the experience of leading a squadron of military people necessarily equates to an ability to lead a nation of civilians. I'm remembering the father of someone I knew when I was growing up. Her father was in the Coast Guard (in command of a ship, if I remember correctly). He ran his household the way he ran his ship, and I remember that I was really glad I didn't live in that household. He was quite dictatorial. The kids weren't even allowed to sit on their beds after they had been made.

Military command experience doesn't necessarily equate to civilian leadership experience. We don't need another dictator.
