I've noticed it to Steve. During WW2 commanders still led from the front. Reichanau, Rommel, Patton, and many others.

As it is now most Generals aren't even in the field instead their giving press conferences. This is partly because wars have all this media coverage for some reason, but still a leader should be in the field with his men. Press conferences should be left to staff officers.
