        I  think  it  is   rather   clear   from   Kyle's   flashbacks
        (flashforwards?) that he was a regular foot soldier in the war
        against the machines and not the leader of the revolt.

        I tend to wonder about what kind of man John  Connor  was.  It
        must  take  a certain kind of ruthlessness to send to your own
        father off on what you know is a  suicide  mission.  But  then
        any other sort of man probably wouldn't have won the war.
