Okay, fair enough. It sounded like you were saying if the Senator for Alabama became SecDEF he would steer work to the state of Alabama which is fine for a Senator to do (represent the interests of their state) but not for a Secretary of Defense.
This area, is kinda like the Silicon Valley of the South. Yeah it isn’t CA with weather and Pacific Ocean but it is what it is.
And we’re used to a Secretary of Defense making hard decisions based on military decisions . . . worked on A12 in Fort Worth and canceled . . . 4K people laid off in one day same or more at our partner at McAir in St. Louis. Dick Cheney. We survived.
