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

There is a reason the older folks are in charge. Look in native American's their chief is elderly and not in great shape. They have what no one else does, which is life experience. They are also not showing off or making rash decisions. Elders genuinely want to help the people prosper and leave that as a legacy.
To put in the requirements you suggested OP, makes you sound like you would rather have a dictator in a fluffed up generals outfit. There are plenty out there if that is what you are seeking. Please seek another land if you do not like ours.
Quoting: Kotlik 60644295 Chief Nana of the Apache was leading raids on supply trains and settlements in to his 80s. (Today, people eat terrible diets are sedentary and blame it on age.)
Nana, now almost 80 years old (according to some reports, nearly 90-years), formed his own war party with the Chihenne (Warm Springs Apache), enlisting loitering warriors in the reservations. His band joined by 15 Tsokanende, 12 Mescalero warriors and a couple of Navajo, plus women and children, began raiding Army supply trains and isolated settlers. In less than a month Nana fought seven or eight battles stretching over the course of 1,000 miles and killed 30-40 Americans, at least as many Mexicans, captured about 200 horses to replace 100 ridden to death and then fled back to Mexico. He and his small force, evaded more than 1,000 soldiers, 300-400 civilian militia volunteers and Apache and Navajo Indian Scouts.Nana (chief) [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]
