Hey Pappy .... the combat leadership of our military and all the rank & file under should NOT be under civilian command or control . The so-called Dept. of Defence needs to be redesignated the War Dept . , with a Secretary of War. Forget the ‘ defence’ BS. If we aregoing to fight wars we need to fight to win . We have self limited ourselves as a nation & a people by placing the task of winning wars in the hands of clueless feckless civilians.
If Trump is elected he needs to take the gloves off , severely limit ROE’s and as C&C give basically one order : seek total victory ....

Look up HR McMaster. You’ll find an active Lt General cut from the same cloth as his one-time commander General Franks. In fact McMaster was one of Frank’s Captains in the largest tank battle of the Iraq War, 73 Easting.

We've actually had a string of excellent SoD's, starting with Robert Gates. Ash Carter is a great civilian leader, who has demonstrated the willpower to cut programs that are the darlings of some of the most prima donna flag's I've ever had the misfortune of serving alongside. You do not want a fucking 4 star flaggot running the DoD, it's the damn fox in the hen house!
