To be fair, it was almost nonsensical how much everyone got behind Squall as a leader. He was borderline abusive to just about everyone he interacted with, and everyone thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread anyway. It's not hard to lead, when everyone is behind you 100%. It's one of the reasons why FFVIII ranks pretty low on my list of faves - I just couldn't figure out why everyone thought Squall was so great, or why everyone wanted him to lead them.

Alphinaud, on the other hand, THOUGHT that everyone loved him as a leader, but, well, we saw how that turned out...
