You know, you didn't take into account that it's often the SPs that makes things go astray and plans fail
(Sorry, had to!
)
No, but what i'm saying is that it's their role.
It's not my role, it's not ESTPs role, it's not INFPs role.
Most good commanders are ExTJs not least because they are structured.
Adaptation to very quick changes is usually more of a tactical scenario than a strategic one, and as such largely out of control for the general.
A general mostly does large scale planning, instructs his subordinates (who may be any type anyone may wish, different jobs require different skill sets).
It's the general's duty to have several plans in store, and detail changes for different parts of the scenario if something goes this way or that.
It's the general's duty to supply his troops and provide other supporting functions to those fighting, such as artillery, engineers, air strikes, drone attacks, cruise missiles etc.
I very much agree that the ultimate soldier would probably be an ESTP, because you guys seem to master the whole quick thinking/reaction and physical bit as well as being tough as nails quite generally.
ExTJs make great generals, though. Because they're structured as well as logical, not just either.
