Of all of them, my first is: rescind the security clearances of EVERY retired military member that sits on a corporate board/executive team/etc, retired politician, retired SES, ALL OF THEM. Let them go to the various agencies and demonstrate a need for having one other than being on the board.
And then make it so they’re ineligible for 10 years...which is the amount of time that the SF86 goes back when someone applies for a security clearance and a demonstrated need is presented. IE....Mattis needs a TSSCI because we want him on our Board of Directors...NOPE and NOPE.
