That being said, I would like somebody that can relate to the rank and file and who has their respect. Somebody who has integrity and will tell the chief when they are right and when they are wrong. Somebody who can stand-up for themselves when in front of politicians especially the way Gen Mattis stood up against senators during senate hearings. Lastly, somebody that sees both sides of the spectrum and not let their own bias opinions overshadow what is best for all rather than one side.
