I was expecting this poster: http://www.despair.com/leaders.html

I think the leadership that you see out of the folks in the Armed Forces has to do with their training. They are forced to operate under stress while in the service, and by doing so become sure of their capabilities. Once they're in the business world, the comparable risk is laughable. They know that they can succeed, and therefore they do, and inspire others, which as has been mentioned, creates a leader out of them.
