The mindless following that military service conditions makes him a great candidate.
He wont have any issue taking orders from lobbyists to support an immoral ruling class agenda.
Can you tell me anywhere else, in the civilian world, where 20yos are running, working on, responsible for multi-million dollar pieces of equipment, responsible for all of it, running / leading teams, etc.... In many cases that is what some military members are doing while civilians are working at Mc Donalds, getting coffee as interns, still in college, etc. It's not true for everyone, but in many case it is.
Dependability, resourcefulness, honesty, integrity, ingenuity, thinking outside the box, dealing with people, leadership.... I know 'you Libs' hate the military, which is why you try to degrade them, insult their abilities / talents, and degrade their achievements and accomplishments all the time.
