Kennedy 0 #2 November 13, 2012 Well considering presidents value loyalty over competence, integrity, or respect of cabinet members' subordinates, I'd say he's a choice we should expect, whether you approve or not. However, since adultery is reason for senior staff to step down (if you believe them on DCI Petraeus) then maybe he should resign before he's ever appointed.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarpeDiem3 0 #4 November 13, 2012 Who better to have in charge of the war department than someone who is anti-war? Heck, he has spoken against war side-by-side with Jane Fonda. He's exactly who we need to keep us out of another war in the middle east, or elsewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's exactly who we need to keep us out of another war in the middle east, or elsewhere. The SEC DEF is to execute the orders of the POTUS, and would need the respect of those in the DOD. He wouldn't have the respect of the DOD, he lost that when running for POTUS. We would be better served if he stayed where he is. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety.
