So with the collective military history here I pose a question

What is this stupid question ?
They're made. They're educated to become soldiers, or learn through experience.
Napoléon Bonaparte is a product of his time. He studied everything he knew at Brienne, and managed to build a military system where talented and dashing marshalls won battles and campaigned for him. Napoléon was able to do a lot of things thanks to his personality and personnal ambition, but every technicity about warfare, he had to read it.

Studied all the classics available to him.

You can be born a genius, but if you don't have the training and education, you'll be mediocre at best.

Rommel stands as a testament to that, despite his sterling reputation. I like the guy, but seriously, he never fucking understood logistics.

Rommel is how you show a good Tactician does not always make a good Strategist.
