I don't think that wannabe or real soldier is relevant in getting the US into a war.  JFK was in the Navy and he got us into Vietnam. Bush - navy pilot. W happened to be in office when the world changed in 2001. Where the wannabe warrior comes in is when once we are in a war, you think you are the expert in warfare and you tie the hands of the experts in the military...as was done in the last administration. A positive thing about Trump's non-political background is that his expertise is business. He gets the right folks into the right positions...and then he weighs their advice carefully.
