Absolutely fantastic. Now he needs several ex Os who can make him effective on the bureaucratic battle field.
This guy will take open border globalists and split them for kindling on the spot.

Excellent choice!
Congress will pass a waiver allowing him to serve as Defense Secretary.

They did it for Marshall in 1950. Does anyone know a time when such a request was denied? I don’t.

This is too much winning.
We are winning so much, I am getting tired of winning.
Trump warned us this would happen...

Even better, Barky essentially relieved him of command for telling the truth about Iran. SMACK!

Gotta love a marine officer whose call sign is
CHAOS SIX.Another one of his favorites ought to go over well with the Dems in his confirmation: "Be polite, be courteous and be professional. But have a PLAN to KILL everyone you meet. Can't wait for lil'chuckie schumer to start whining about THAT one!
