General’s, like most leaders, are used to having their asses kissed. Our President isn’t the ass kissing type and doesn’t care for those that kiss ass. Couple the fact with his forward leadership style, if you’re of the touchy-feely type, you’re not going to like him.

I chuckle when I read or hear thin skinned people whine about the President being mean. Those folks must have a difficult time separating business and personal interactions.

Looking back over my 40 plus year career, the leaders I respected most were forward. I don’t kiss ass and never respected anyone that did.
