A wuss with a military budget equal to the next 30 countries combined.  But again, we're talking a real war versus these piddly little feel goods that get dragged out for years for no reason other than money/oil.

Look, the point is that nobody is afraid of Obama. But Trump, on the other hand, has people freaking out easily. There is a sense of Trump being more than a "talking the talk" guy like Obama was.

I'm sure Osama bin Laden thought Obama was a wuss right up until that bullet went straight through his cranium. 

Truth is the military complex in the US largely operates on its own, anyway. The president's job is actually to restrain it from doing something stupid, like say invading Iraq or having a land invasion of Cuba when there are nuclear weapons on the island or not understanding that Vietnemese didn't care how many bombs and Agent Orange you dropped on them, they didn't give one fuck, they would fight to the last man/woman/child. 

A president who doesn't have that nuance or intelligence in his arsenal is just going to be led around by his military generals like a puppet on a string.
