I would imagine Tulsi will be one, she may very well be Secretary of Defense in the second Trump Admin. I would imagine there could be a role for Nicole Shanahan as well. Dean Phillips could be another, but nobody knows who he is, or cares.

I agree with your take on Tulsi. She is way left on a lot of domestic issues, but good on defense.

Tulsi is already seen as being on board with Trump. As a Colonel, she would not be well received by the DoD as a secretary of defense. I could see other positions, such as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. But honestly, she would be perfect for protecting women's sports.
