Sec Def shouldn’t be in the chain other than to provide overall guidance. Commander in the field doesn’t need a now-civilian to tell him how to kill the enemy. That’s LBJ and McNamara picking B-52 targets in NVN. No one who cares about effectiveness of our forces in the field should like it. Give the guy his overall orders he’ll handle the details.
xone, you know more than I do, but seems the rules of engagement need to be communicated from the top - what is allowed.
BRAVO.
