I have always felt that if a President or other ruler of a country sends troops off to war, he should have to accompany them. I almost guarantee there would me many fewer wars and the sould be shorter in duration, and result in far fewer deaths and disabilities.

Not only that, you will rarely find a Senator, Representative, or other government official with a son or daughter sent off to war.

Kings used to lead their soldiers in battle or at least were on the battlefield with them.
