She has been involved with the Army and DoD at the Pentagon since the late 1990s. A couple of sources I have speak fairly highly of her in her understanding of defense policy, looking at options, and when it was not popular backing the Army’s resistance to strength cuts. they will be glad that she has declined. She may have worked for Dem administrations, but she would not be the “Yes woman lackey” that bh0 wants in his cabinet secretaries.
Thanks, I wondered if she might have turned it down for that reason.
