Notice how all the Obama appointments at this level were quietly whisked in.
Bring back some of the real fighting commanders Obama purged.
Get rid of the wimps and crossdressers at the Air Force Academy, Naval Academy and even West Point (who let that psycho commie even get into the Point and who let him stay in violation of their oath of allegiance to the US?).
Fire all America haters.
Let’s hope President Trump has become a better judge of character over these past two years.
Finally!
The military is NOT the place for social experiments!! Period!!! The military has one mission, the defense of the Republic. The military has a mission to shoot people, blow stuff up, and break things. That simple. There are deaths, on both sides, but we try to make more of the other guys die for their nation/cause than dies on our side. We reduce casualties by bring a greater force of fire power on them than they can on us, by killing them before they can kill us. Liberals think you can fight a war, a total war, without having any causalities on either side. Impossible!!! They also think you can talk over all your issues without bloodshed. History has proven that theory totally wrong!! Never gonna happen. War means killing and people die in war. We need commanders who understand one thing and one thing only, DEFEND THE REPUBLIC!! To tell with the enemy and their casualties!!! Kill more of them before they can kill us. Been there and done that. Vietnam was the perfect example of a president running the war from the White House, over 12,000 miles from the front lines. I very well remember reading a quote once about the LBJ White House and the running of the Vietnam war. It was reported that LBJ or McNamara said that “the commanders could not bomb an outhouse unless the White House approved it first.” LBJ and Mac were picking all the targets and when and how we dealt with them. Give the commanders the job. Tell them your goal, and get the hell out of their way and let them execute the war plan. Just like Norman did in the first gulf war. They did it right for the first time since WWII.
Long overdue.
I would prefer commanding officers have some combat experience and better yet a CIB.

It’s SOCOM leadership, not Pentagon leadership.
‘Mr. Trump earlier this year nominated Army Gen. Scott Miller, commander of the Joint Special Operations Command, as the new U.S. commander in Afghanistan. Gen. Miller is expected to arrive in Afghanistan in coming weeks.’
Miller is the POS who allowed the first women to graduate from Ranger School under very very dubious circumstances.
Worst generation of senior leaders this nation has ever produced - BAR NONE. And, that includes Mattis, I’m sorry to say.
Who has POTUS ear on all military matters:
Marine Corps General John Kelly, Chief of Staff and Marine Corps General “Fighting Joe” Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs both who served in combat under Marine Corps General “Mad Dog” Mattis, Secretary of Defense.
Sleep well folks, any new appointments will make POTUS and all of us proud.
Damn WSJ paywall. The reason I gave up posting from there.
Search around, there are usually other sources.

Sad that the last of the World War II and Korean veteran commanders are long gone, along with their wisdom and values. We now have in command those who spit on the returning Vietnam vets.
