The President really doesn't run the day to day operations of the military. Just the broad objectives (like, fight war here).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Head of state was just useful shorthand for head of state, head of government, former head of state, former head of government, etc. It wasn't meant to be technically accurate.I'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - PekkaComment

I get that. But it's not like the President would suddenly have the power to become a dictator and arrest all the Democrats if he took on the job of the JCS.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

I think Bhutto is comprable to Kirchner... but then again, I have a thing for Pakistani and Indian women.

Command means something very specific in the military. For instance the JCS is not in command of anything, it is in fact illegal for them to have command of forces.
Operation and administrative chains of command are entirely seperate.
So as we consider it, a president has not been in command of forces since George Washington. I don't know if a president has the athority to do that now."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

For the same reason the JCS themselves can't do it, because the administrative and operational chains of command are seperate.I get that. But it's not like the President would suddenly have the power to become a dictator and arrest all the Democrats if he took on the job of the JCS."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

Well, thats the point, nobody. But I suppose if you could convince enough operational commanders, and all their subordinates actually follow orders against the law and their oaths you could physically do it. But you would have to do it with out the service Cheifs of Staff and the JCS knowing about it, or convince them to go along too.So then, who can overthrow our government?"The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.
