America is a Republic and you forget that before the 1900's most American presidents were war veterans. When they stopped being is probably where shit went sideways here. It's good for your leaders to also be warriors tbph.
Yeah but they in particular kind of weren't great anyway. Both sides have people that are shit. I hated Obama but he was a lot better than Biden like come on. You know I'm not saying "ALL military people could be president" here, it's not a blanket statement.
Most of why military officers make good presidents, and it's always been officers, is because they're good delegators and good bureaucrats. America has a fetish for the political outsider, so we often pass over effective leaders because they're "career politicians."

Americans rightfully distrust the political class at this point. Why would they want someone from a group of people who have done basically everything possible to destroy middle America economically, culturally, and politically?

Albert is deservedly a Belgian national hero, but he didn't fight personally and Belgium was a democracy anyhow. Albert was a constitutional monarch who used his personal influence to promote socialist and liberal politics.
In the warrior aristocracy: >We only paid 3-5% tax. >No one could you remove you from the land you were tied to. >No one could sieze the tools of your trade, not even with the most crippling of debt. >Food and heath insurance (your Lord was obligated to take care of you if your crops failed, including even ensuring all children in the domain are clothed and fed etc.). >Social mobility was as simple as chopping the right head off in front of your Liege, and being allowed to loot high quality weapons off the battlefield. >Lord would fight with you, not just send young 18 year old boys to their death while they smoke cigars in the countryside like that fat frick coward Churchill. >Sense of community and cosiness.
I'm not even glorifying the past, I'm saying we pay far too much tax and get nothing in return.
>Modern society: turns you trans, rapes your kids, arrests you for wrongthink,
Except for you anon! You're the super special exception to the rules you just asserted!

Churchill saw far more combat than you anon, and probably more combat than anyone on this board

And was any of that the case in practice, or just you extrapolating de jure laws/mores into de facto
It was the case in practice.

No he didn't, he was a filthy journo before he was a politician.
He is a coward and a liar.
He was a cavalry officer wrote on the side for some extra money anon. Not to mention he did a (fairly short) stint on the Western during ww1
