Always find people amusing who think identity is built around a person currently employed because of their skill-set.
I recall talking to a person years ago when I was between jobs as a [job title].
"What do you do?"
"Oh, I'm a [job title]."
"Oh nice. Where do you [job title] at?"
"I'm not [job title]ing anywhere at the moment."
"Oooooooh, well! Then you're not a [job title]!"
By this logic, you're not a blacksmith if your not pounding out red-hot horseshoes. Or a doctor if, after 20 years in surgery, you've granted yourself a two-year vacation in the Bahamas.
In this POV, though, ex-political leaders, ex-military leaders get to keep their titles. Say what?
Linkletter was right: people are funny.
