Most military folk do not make good congress critters primarily because they could give a rat's ass about building consensus without stepping on someone's little bitty toes. They see the problem, analyze possible solutions from gathered input, select a course of action most likely to succeed and lead from the front after making the decision and take responsiblity for their actions. Congress can't see the problem, analyze what they can garner for their constituents for supporting someone elses cause regardless if it is the right cause for the country, ask others to make the decision so they can claim plausible deniability if it goes south, push from the rear, and take responsibility for nothing.
