Lol, Uhm no, but if somebody has spent 8-10 years learning something(which is roughly the time it takes to get your post doc), say Chemistry of Physics, they're not gonna be even remotely as knowledgeable about the finer points of tactics, maneuver and logistics or commanding a battalion of tanks.
Sure scientists tends to be fairly smart people but that only goes so far.
