Take lawyers as an example. I believe that in the military, a lawyer ranks as an officer. I assume that the position and rank comes with a good deal of training not required by say, a NY law firm, such as weapons training, basic combat, basic officer training, etc. Fair enough?
Yes, it’s true that a JAG officer may be required to have some basic training, but, on the whole, they are not likely to find themselves in combat situations. And, in any event, they usually can’t take an active combat role. While a JAG officer is, by definition, an officer, he usually is not a line-officer with authority to command outside his area of expertise.
