Just appoint some General with 30+ years on the job. Why appoint some politician whose only credentials is having seen two Rambo films?

Honestly though, as much as I would agree with you, I imagine that being a defense minister deals with very different issues than an army General. For once logistics versus political decisions, or the consideration of citizens and society.

It’s mind numbing how much politics you need to rise to the rank of general. The generals are no naive soldiers. They’ve been selected through many elimination rounds.
