It's the cumulative number of coming and goings. They come and go on a very very regular basis in this administration. At this point of time in Trump's tenure, less 'comings' looking to fill the 'goings'. If this Administration was publicly listed you wouldn't be long.
LOL. Trump is like the Freddie Crouger of politics Keep your powder dry. A monster comeback is in the making...maybe.
Wrong. There is no higher military post in the operational chain of command which runs from the president to the SECDEF directly to combatant commanders. And as a combatant commander, Mattis was fired in a disgraceful manner simply because he's not a "yes man." He did not do a shitty job. That's absurd.
A big build up by tepper for a simple question beginning at about 1 minute into the video... Trump wants out... do you think we should pull out troops out. (paraphrase of the questions) Then look at that dbags at about 1 minute 40 seconds... when he gets that simple question... Then watch him dissemble for the next 3 or 4 minutes... with no answer other than the old b.s. line every political moron says but never means. We need a national debate. Well we had one and the jerkoffs on the hill like him don't like it when the nation speaks. This guy was somewhat in charge and his hasn't the guts to give an answer that basic question.... but he says Trump is not qualified. Not having an answer means you are not qualified to open you mouth on this subject... Morons on CNN and MSNBC... just fricken morons. If you don't have answer how can you say Trump is wrong to save American lives and money? Trump ran on the idea of ending the stupid spending and poor execution of war. There was a national debate Trump won.
Trump just announced Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan will be acting SecDef starting January 1, 2019. (I thought Mattis was hanging out until Feb 28. Guess that letter really pissed him off.) Fill the swamp? Mr. Shanahan most recently served as Boeing senior vice president, Supply Chain & Operations. A Washington state native, Mr. Shanahan joined Boeing in 1986 and spent over three decades with the company. He previously worked as senior vice president of Commercial Airplane Programs, managing profit and loss for the 737, 747, 767, 777 and 787 programs and the operations at Boeing's principal manufacturing sites; as vice president and general manager of the 787 Dreamliner, leading the program during a critical development period; as vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems, overseeing the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, Airborne Laser and Advanced Tactical Laser; and as vice president and general manager of Boeing Rotorcraft Systems, overseeing the Apache, Chinook and Osprey. He previously held leadership positions on the 757 program, 767 program and in the fabrication division. That might bump the DOW a few points tomorrow. "Whats good for GM BA is good for America".
