Very good. I do believe every appointee needs a recommendation from their congressman. It would suggest every congressional district is entitled to one, even the deep blue ones with a far left representative. Since the midwest and the south have a higher military representation I can see an attitude conflict when appointees with their own agenda get rubber stamped through the process and thereby control people they may look down on. It’s vetting and different jurisdictions look at things differently.

*Lee and Grant and Eisenhower and Patton and Schwarzkopf and Nimitz and Mitscher and Halsey and on and on?*
And Westmorland?
Colin Powell was a 90 day wonder and an ‘affirmative action baby’.

**The days of a military education and engineering degrees has been adapted to females, so now a lot of meaningless, non-military courses are offered to make it easier for the girls.**
No way Hegseth gonna put a stop to that $hit.

Speaking of Powell I think he just mighta worked better under Trump than Bush. Loyal soldier in Kuwait when ‘41 got the world consensus against Saddam. Iraq-no proof of WMD and ‘43 was looking for a 911 scapegoat. No proof Iraq involved. Gave money to McCain’ 08 effort and then supported Obama. He didn’t care much for neocons. Felt Trump should resign over Jan. 6.

There you have it. All over the place. Still I think Trump would not have pushed him to the limit with his world view. He was just joined at the hip with the Bushes and when ‘43 ‘broke it’(Iraq) he took it out on McCain.
