President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he
has nominated Daniel P. Driscoll of North Carolina to serve
as the Secretary of the Army.
. . .
Ok ... this guy sounds like he knows his business.
Army ranger, mountain div, action in the Iraq war.
Knows the military, knows soldiers, knows what it's
like when the bullets fly.
He's far better than some of Trumps other (initial)
picks.
We should have special concern these days when it comes
to the armed forces. The world has gone seriously un-nice
again - dangerous powerful enemies are moving.

Good thing we will have a president who
knows how to raid the military budget to
pay for failed projects and tries to bully
them with his "superior" knowledge.

Trump's rising interference in military irks Pentagon
Nov 26 2019

When Mark Esper, US defence secretary,fired the
head of the navy on Sunday, it marked the latest
chapter in the turbulent relationship between
Pentagon leaders and Donald Trump.

Over the past three years, the commander-in-chief
has blindsided his generals with impromptu decisions
to withdraw troops from Syria, slammed allies from
Germany to Japan, abruptly cancelled military
exercises to please Kim Jong Un, and irked the
Pentagon by demanding a military parade.

But the latest controversy - over the case of a
Navy Seal convicted of a war crime in Iraq that
culminated in the firing of Richard Spencer, the
Navy secretary - has created a bigger headache
for the top brass because it played out publicly
in real time.ÿ

Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher was acquitted
in July of several war crimes but was convicted
of posing for a photo beside the corpse of an
Isis detainee he had killed. He was demoted as a
result but Mr Trump restored his rank in a
controversial decision this month.ÿ

Mr Trump angered the Pentagon with the announcement,
which also included a pre-emptive pardon for a
soldier facing trial over a death in Afghanistan.
Mr Esper and General Mark Milley, chairman of the
joint chiefs, urged him to let the military justice
system play out but were ignored.ÿ

"Trump has been chipping away at the apolitical,
non-partisan nature of the defence department but
this feels different. He is trying to complete the
trifecta by politicising the Pentagon."

Kori Schake, an expert on the US military and deputy
director-general of IISS, a think-tank, said the
Pentagon leadership was "really anxious" about "the
president's erratic behaviour", which she stressed
both undercut deterrence and damaged critical US
alliances around the world.
