I don't want to continue too much of a derailment here, but my point is merely that there are concrete and well-defined aspects of the job where military history would be an advantage.
Humility is a nice attribute that most people respect, but we can't really give the same concrete and well-defined aspects of the Presidency that would always benefit from humility - only areas where, in our opinion, this would happen. Whether or not I agree with that opinion (I agree on a pretty limited basis), it seems clear - it's almost quantitative versus qualitative. No offense intended, just pointing out the differing nature.
