...and Ken got there before me, so I will merely add, that I think there is a place for some officers to have PhDs. In fact most of my friends of Lt Colonel, Colonel and above, do, or are working on them!
Having said that, most of the complete garbage military thought has recently produced came from PhD equipped officers.
I think Officer education is absolutely vital, but a PhD is not synonymous, or in any way relevant to the operational skill and practice we need.
