ELI5: If the U.S. president is commander of the military, why isn't his/her experience in military tactics and strategy ever a talking point?

It seems like people would want to know how effectively a presidential candidate could command the most powerful army in the world instead of how he felt about abortion and gay marriage.

Because we don't expect the President to be an expert in military tactics any more than we expect him to be an expert in medicine or prison construction or chemistry or meteorology or agricultural science or any of the other things that the President is ultimately responsible for,

What we need out of our leaders is leadership -- not nerd-like knowledge of a narrow area of focus. We need someone who can get and listen to people who *are* experts in these areas and make the appropriate decisions.
