Since the 2nd world war, world politics have witnessed influx of military official in main stream politics. Alas one might think that every country needs a president who can call the shot and have total military control at the highest level.

In Africa, countries like Algeria,Botswana, Congo DR,Egypt,Eritrea,Gambia,Mauritania,Nigeria, Rwanda,Sudan,Tanzania all boast of president with military background.

In America, 10 out of the last 12 president have served in the military. Although one might argue that those period witness intense military actions around the world, from the 2nd world war, to the Vietnamese War and The cold war with USSR, One wouldnt think twice to elect these military brass as president!.

In the past 6 decades, President Obama and Bill clinton are the only civilian president that have graced the oval office. Can America Afford another ?

Skeptics believe that President Obama inexperience in the military have flawed his major effort in security intervention mainly in the Arab spring. The front runners at the 2016 election in both Democrat and Republican party have no military experience.
One could also argue that American president with military background will further plunge the country into unreasonable wars and military interventions around the globe. Literally ,the world needs peace


Will it affect their foreign policy with regards to security?.
