You are right, he did not achive flag rank. However, he did retire as a Captain (that is one rank below flag) and did command men in both combat and peacetime. To say he has very little military leadership is totally false.

I am not voting for him, but I do think that his leadership experience and military knowledge is light years ahead of Obama. That has to count for something in my book.
