I would hope Mr. Trump considered, retired Lt. General Boykin, for SecDef. I think he would make a much better SecDef than his current candidate, the deputy assistant, a former Boeing executive.

William G. "Jerry" Boykin (born April 19, 1948) was the United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence under President George W. Bush from 2002 to 2007 and retired general officer. During his 36-year career in the military he spent 13 years in the Delta Force and was involved in numerous high-profile missions, including the 1980 Iran hostage rescue attempt, the 1992 hunt for Pablo Escobar in Colombia, and the Black Hawk Down incident in Mogadishu, Somalia. He is an author and teaches at Hampden–Sydney College, Virginia. He is currently executive vice president at the Family Research Council.

Excellent choice he would be.

He won’t get the job but he is actually a decent and honest man , unimpressed by K Street.

sounds good to me. I would send you your suggestion to contact the White House. Yes President Trump already knows about him I’m sure however sending it to that will let him know that others are like-minded and who knows maybe if he gets enough of those it may sway his decision.

I don’t see anything there to brag about.

The Strategic Culture Foundation is a Russian Anti-Israel effort based in Moscow. It appears that the editor is someone by the name of Vladimir Maximenko.

Mattis is gone. The dilemma is on the swamp rats.

Here's a sample from the Russian Strategic Culture Foundation site. Notice its praise of Giraldi below (the author of the piece posted above this thread). We don't need this trash. It's anti-American.

"As the anti-Jewish writer Philip Giraldi said accurately (though I think he misunderstands how the Deep State, of which he used to be an operative, actually functions), 'Defense contractors need a foe to justify their existence while congressmen need the contractors to fund their campaigns.'"

Need someone that will uphold all the guilty verdicts from the coming military tribunals.
