Original Message I was reading a bio of General Solemani, and one of his ideological principles was "lead from the front." He was the top leader in Iran, following only the president. Yet, he was everywhere on the battlefield. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq...

This type of leadership builds undying loyalty among the troops, and is likely a significant contribution to Solemani's continuous success in defeating ISIS/ISIL in Syria and Iraq, and to his legendary status among Iranians and Shia militias across the mideast.

Americans are loaded with all forms of high tech weaponry, computer systems, comm systems and other gadgets. However, their leadership does not stray anywhere near the hot zones. I think this is demoralizing to the troops. Knowing that the commanders won't place themselves in harms way. The soldier feels like just a pawn, expendable, in some politician's war.

Trump and Pompeo have recently set a very aggressive stance towards their perceived enemies. They are promoting a policy of "strength through deterrence." This upsurge in military aggressiveness by the US would have more credibility and build morale, if the leadership would walk the talk.

I think this could be achieved if Trump and Pompeo were to pursue a physical fitness and weight loss regimen that meets base military requirements. This could be combined with meeting marksmanship standards, and demonstrating proficiency with basic battlefield armaments.

Trump and Pompeo could then spend more time in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria. Riding along on patrols, visiting the hot zones. This would give them credibility as military commanders, and give them a much better understanding of the situation on the ground.

Trump's campaign slogan was MAGA, Make America Great Again. Our greatest president led from the front. George Washington. Teddy Roosevelt organized and led the "Rough Riders," 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry in the Spanish-American war.

I think it is time for the president and his cabinet, to deliver that promise of making American great again, and start leading from the front.
