I do not like commander in chief

[zman]

I`m saying what does it mean anyhow, I think it makes more sense to say commander and chief. How do you get a commander inside a chief?
It makes more sense to use the Phrase "As president I am sending troops to..."
Rather then saying the longer sentence of "As commander in chief I am sending troops to.."..Look how much more I had to say.
Who started this Commander in chief anyhow, If a fella tells me he`s the president shouldn't I know he controls the military?
****..In this days of acronyms maybe use C&C..Say it like this... "As C&C I am sending troops to..." I like that better.
Who started this Commander in chief business anyhow, I don't recall it being used as much as I have heard it with Bush and Obama and I would rather hearing it from someone that was at least a private in the military..seems if I were president and never served I would feel a tinge of guilt about using a phrase like that lessen I earned it.
Lets get out of NAFTA too and rebuild this country , Leave something for the kids..They already hate us lets not really piss them off...Another rant for another day.

I think both ex military and civilians bring something to the table. Even as a conservative I'm not sure I'd want just ex military types in the oval office.

Every military branch has a commander. Every post of every branch has a commander. Every vessel or troop movement has a commander. Every military operation has a commander. The president is supposed to be the commanders commander. The chief commander or as we know it commander in chief. On the civilian side every boss is a commander of however many employees. I would at least want a commander in chief that could pass the civil service background check and made a profit on a hot dog cart.
