Flournoy and Carter have been through this wringer before: Both were floated as possible Pentagon chiefs earlier in Obama's presidency, and both have served at the highest levels of the department. A third candidate, Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, said through a spokesman on Monday he was not interested in the post.

If it were me I’d appoint a retired general officer with broad experience beyond the Pentagon. I would nominate James Jones.

Question: Who will replace Chuck Hagel?
Answer: An even greater incompetent. I suggest the recently removed "Captain" Wayne Brown as a replacement for Hagel.
