[Star Wars] Jedi are essentially monks, as well as warriors and experts in hand-to-hand combat. How does this qualify Anakin or Obi Wan to be military generals?

It doesn't. But you clearly didn't pay attention in your Galactic History 101.

You completely ignored the fact that Jedi are part of the Republic's judicial branch of government, specifically tasked with bringing gangsters, pirates, warlords, and even rebelling worlds to justice.

That means Jedi spend a lot of time training in space combat and basic warfare so that they can aid Republic worlds with many types of threats.


That's why Jedi were able to decimate the Mandalorians, Kaleesh, and many other highly militaristic species on the battlefield.

And that's why they were put in charge of the Grand Army. They actually do know how to run an army. They would just rather not bc of how that's led to autocratic empires in the past.
