Playing politician is what you clasped to in defence of your labeling Milley a politician. My point was simply that any CEO of any public company would have had to play politics to get there. Certainly they would have to play politics as much as any general would have to. Don't think you would disagree with that. See what i mean about you dancing through facts...
And surely you see your dictionary definition of a politician is superfluous here. Surely you can accept we all know what a politician is.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
