NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST: Brigadier General AJ “Tony” Tata, U.S. Army (Retired), is a Trump supporter and author of the novel Three Minutes to Midnight.
If you’ve been involved in a pointless war in a hopeless part of the world against a bunch of stone-age savages for the better of part of 15 years, and you still haven’t finished them off, you might want a few successful generals in your cabinet, too. Of course, they might upset the snowflake media, which hates things that go bang:
President-elect Donald Trump has selected retired Marine Gen. John F. Kelly as secretary of homeland security, officials familiar with the decision said Wednesday, recruiting a third former member of the military’s brass to serve at the highest levels of his administration.
Trump’s choice of Kelly — and his continued deliberations about tapping as many as two more military figures for other posts — has intensified worries among some members of Congress and national security experts that the new administration’s policies may be shaped disproportionately by military commanders.
“I’m concerned,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. “Each of these individuals may have great merit in their own right, but what we’ve learned over the past 15 years is that when we view problems in the world through a military lens, we make big mistakes.”
Maybe that’s because you’ve had the wrong generals, Chris. After all, the point of the “War on Terror” under the Obama administration was never to win it, but to bleed the American military to death. And given the military’s ironclad deference to civilian authority, as embodied in the commander in chief under the Constitution, there was nothing anybody could do about it. So why not bring a few guys who know how to win?
