Should Trump and Pompeo be required to lose weight, get in shape, and demonstrate basic proficiency with small arms before starting wars?

Before that, I'd demand that all posters on this forum be able to compose coherant sentences with correct punctuation and spelling before they spew out their disjointed thoughts.
[OP, understand this isn't directed at you personally -since you seem to be able to express yourself quite well- it's the remaining 90% of posters herein that need a serious reality check.]
As far as your proposition is concerned, it's bullshit. You don't have to murder someone to understand that it's a heinous crime; further, the POTUS is 70 years old and once oyu attian that age [I mysself am 67] there are far greater priorities than displaying a beach body. I'cve also seen more than enough pics of overweight, out-of-shape military Brass to support the concept that it's BRAINS and not BRAWN that make a good commander.
BTW: what makes you think for one second that President Trump CAN'T use a firearm? As a teenager, he attended a prestigious military academy and he's already on the record by saying several years ago that he's carried a gun in the past, and is currently licensed for conceal-carry; but, it's safe to further assume that the Secret Service have since disarmed him. They're a bit territorial that way!
Or -in Trump's case- maybe not!
Quoting: GSB/LTD I agree. Such as spelling “Coherent” correctly before they criticize another poster about spelling without knowing how to do so themselves. I also agree with OP. In a better time, our forefathers would have agreed and would have had the backbone to fight alone their own soldiers should the need arise. At the same time, that lack of valor IS NOT something exclusive to Donald Trump, so let’s be fair and not make it an accusation that makes a weak attempt to do so. Equally important to what I wrote above is the ability to graciously accept a reprimand and resolve the rebuke accordingly, as I have done by correcting the text of my comments - since the error slipped past my final check before hitting the "post" tab. FYI: I could easily carp about the syntax in your reply but will instead ignore it. However, to compare contemporary leadership with that of 244 years ago is ludicrous because everything we know has changed greatly since the days when the man with the sharpest sabre [metaphorical or not] ruled. Remember: might doesn't always make right. BTW: the primary definition of "valor" is possessing the quality of boldness or determination when facing great danger. I'd say that our President has displayed that in spades time and time again against enemies foreign AND domestic. Trump has retained the country’s stereotype of fat, lazy, schlubs, and made Conservatives look like fools. People can say what they want about the Iranian general, but OP is right. He was willing to fight with his own people, and the person who is obligated to be the leader of our military will not. As I said though, it’s not something exclusive to Trump, so I don’t want to give the mistake of looking like I’m making an anti-Trump post, because I’m not. He’s the current in a line that came before and will continue after him. People would never say Vladimir Putin is a pussy because he’s not. Putin really is a badass and if Trump disrespected him, he’d teach him a lesson in respect. I don’t have to agree with his politics to know that. We need a President who has the backbone that other leaders who won’t fuck around with other countries are. Trump is more of an Un than he is a Putin. You would do well to reflect upon the impact "bad asses" have shared throughout history because from Alexander, Ceasar and Napoleon; to Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Kruschev and currently Putin, ALL have been vilified for their ruthlessness and dedication toward achieving their goals regardless of the suffering of countless innocents... and the exact SAME thing can be said about your "respected" General Soleimani. And that determination is just one of several traits that separate President Trump from that rest of that Rat pack.
