War is fought by the military which is in it's self merely an extension of the civilian leadership. If I am not mistaken, isn't there something in Your Constitution which prohibits or precludes the President from actually holding a military rank whilst in office, or am I thinking of "posse comitatis"? (sic)

I would say both. He is the Commander in Chief where the military is concerned. And he serves the civilian citizens of the US.

The president is a civilian. He is, however, commander in chief of the military. He's still a civilian though.

He has the title of "commander in chief", but most of them knows diddly about war, so they take whatever advice the joint chiefs of staff and other advisors tell him, and then he acts accordingly, like if it were his personal decision.

He is first and foremost the servant of We the People. His other Executive duties come second to the needs of the American people.

He is our civil servant, but sometimes keeps forgeting that.
