Hey George,

I never understood this argument. I have had many CIOs that could not program, yet were more than capable of running their respective areas. They delegate the details. I have also seen great coders fail miserably at becoming supervisors/directors because they weren't able to see the big picture or deal with direct reports. I don't believe experiencing combat directly correlates with the ability to lead, but not having served, I might not have a good perspective on it.
