I don't know too much about Western military leaders, but I do know:
Hitler was a great military leader, but Hitler didn't enjoy serious military education at all. Because I always think I can be a great military leader (don't blame the shame of me
) therefore I assert:
a military education is not a MUST for a great military leader.
Chenghis Khan even didn't know how to read/write, yet he is a great military leader.
Chairman Mao Zedong didn't attend any military school, yet he is a great military leader.
Maybe you can list many other examples of Western great military leaders too who didn't enjoy any military education.
My question is:
A military education is not a MUST for a great military leader. A great leader is BORN to be a great leader, not educated to be.
Of course this leader guy must be a smart one.
Agree?
