What you or I think should be in the foreground is irrelevant. There is no one that you or I think should be picked for Defense Secretary that would stand a chance of Obama nominating.

In my view an enlisted combat veteran serving as Secretary of Defense in this administration is about as much as anyone could hope for.

Two of the three great tyrants foretold by Nostradamus were enlisted veterans -- one Corsican corporal and one Austrian. Don't settle, agitate. Never give someone like Obama what he wants.
