Discussion»Questions»Military» Can you become a General without ever once serving on a battlefield in a war? Is that what an ARMCHAIR General is? If not what is he/she?
General Dwight D. Eisenhower... Throughout his career, Eisenhower’s organizational skills and genius for military strategies made him indispensable to the Army. In other words, Dwight Eisenhower was just too valuable to chance his life on the battlefield. Although he never fulfilled his dream of participating on the battlefield, Dwight Eisenhower did what the world needed, and brought about the end of the war in Europe during World War II.
The ARMCHAIR General is Trump..a person who speaks authoritatively on topics that they have no practical experience with, (especially applied to advocates of war)
