I 100% agree with this statement. I've never been one to use that argument. You're either a good Soldier or you're not. It's all encompassing, not just in a few key commodity areas.
I wasn't saying smart people make poor leaders. What I'm saying is that in 15 months training new LTs there is very little correlation between their GPA or even their institutional grades versus their abilities in fieldcraft.
