I get it’s important that Biden to be comfortable but it’s important that we be comfortable too. Generals and board members of defense contracting companies should not be running the Pentagon. Period. Now, not later, is the time to say NO.

Experience needs to return to the Pentagon. General Austin has that, for the times we are in, and what awaits us from Trump’s ineptitude. Us military families who have blood invested, can’t afford mistakes. Veterans who work as contractors aren’t doing it just for money.

This is not a matter of his being a corrupt individual; I don’t think he is at all! It’s a matter of the filter he sees things through, the experience he has had and the perspective it gives him. The founders enshrined civilian leadership of our military for a reason.

Our founders enshrined many things, many that have been shat on by the Trump administration. There are moments when rules may yeild to bending- for the moment we are in. A civilian who is a veteran can re-enlist, so what’s your point , the amount of time from a post?

What “moment are we in?” Are we at war, and if we are, why and where? Do people even know? Are you OK with just accepting that constant and chronic militarization of foreign policy is just the way America does things now...? If so, we are in real big trouble.
