He's got military experience, he goes to Iraq to visit with the troops. And if you've followed the players' reactions or listened to the press conference you'd get the impression that he was extremely close and connected to them, and like a father figure to them. Imagine the type of buy-in he'd be able to achieve for his policies. He was also one heck of a recruiter in football, if he could replicate that kind of success for the Corps - bringing in quality high character folks (like Matt Davis), we'd be doing alright. All he'd need is a good set of assistant commandants with military experience, similar to having a good set off coordinators and coaches.
Also, this is the internet, people aren't always 100% serious on it.
