Someone in the know tells me that Harward is a Hell of a fine officer. SEAL, and a model one.
He Worked with Mattis before on very amicable terms. Not many ribbons - he’s no glory hound.
Most importantly from a national security point of view - he was on the Joint inter-agency task force -— that’s not just the branches of the service, but the spooks as well.
He speaks all the languages needed, if you’ll pardon the euphemism.
Thinking back to Flynn, his timing concerning the putting or Iran on notice probably wasn't the greatest - may have played a role in Trump losing some confidence in him?
I have high confidence in Trump's ability to make great picks, and correct mistakes in a timely manner. That said, I think we live at a very dangerous time in history and there is is just so much any one person can do. Our real hope would be for this nation to turn back to God. :)
