If anything, you can get some very good class discussions going, as the students aren't spouting the schoolbook answers...and you get some students who have unusual backgrounds.<br /><br />Second, I'd look at the civilian sector for strategists, as well as at the military. Naval strategy, in particular, has profited greatly from civilian thinkers.
