How is it that so many lawyers and politicians were commissioned as generals and officers? How does practicing law translate into military skills? I find it amazing that these men were entrusted to make sound military decisions without any expertise in the area. What did they know of tactics and strategy? Why was this considered okay? Why bother going to West Point if anyone who speaks eloquently can be an officer?
