You should probably quit now while you can.

You've been reduced to touting the credentials and accomplishments of people who orchestrated an unmitigated disaster in the Middle East by any measure -- financial, diplomatic, and in lost and wrecked human lives. Richard Perle is "pure genius?" What the 'eff are you talking about? He has spent the last decade first working to diminish his role in the invasion of Iraq, then finally admit that the whole thing was a disaster.

Gen. Mattis probably isn't going to be the Secretary of Defense anytime soon. As a former military officer he would have to wait at least seven years after his retirement before serving in that role -- which means he isn't eligible until 2020 unless Congress changes that law.

They simply were not convinced that Trump was committed to destroying our enemies.

Bullsh!t. Trump called them out when he laid waste to Jeb Bush in one of those debates during the GOP primaries ... when he pointed out repeatedly that the U.S. doesn't even know who our friends and enemies are over there -- and has been providing financial and military support to them for years.

Trump won this election because he exposed the absurdity of pissing away trillions of dollars and thousands of lives in stupid military campaigns all over the globe, while doing nothing to stop the invasion across our own southern border.

Hallucinate on paleopacifist. Wwe have a military fr a reason. We buy hardware for a reason. You don't suppose that Mad Dog Mattis is being interviewed for Secretary of Agriculture, do you? If Congress has to change the law, so be it. It is a damn silly law that guarantees that we have in authority the backward looking Black Jack Pershings rather than a Billy Mitchell. I realize that you want the current state of devastation of our military to continue and that you are really going to miss spineless Comrade Imam Obozo.

Trump called every other candidate out often in contradictory terms. My original candidate was Walker. He was gone in very short order. My next candidate was Cruz and by the end of the contest I was delighted he had lost and that Trump had won.

IF YOU GET YOUR PACIFIST WAY: When the Iranian mushroom rises over NYC, you will need a lot more than regrets in New Jersey to cope with the blast and the radiation. Good luck.

Trump won your vote unintentionally because you deluded yourself into imagining that Trump is a paleopeacecreep. Doesn't look like a Kumbaya crooner or an ostrich to me. BTW, I notice your all too obvious reluctance to defend your heroes: Neville Chamberlain, Charles Lindberg, Colonel MacCormack, Comrade George McGovern, Jane Fonda, et al.
