So a person who's only organizational experience is being a small unit infantry officer and the CEO is a tiny non-profit is going the lead the world's largest military and all of its ancillary components? I'm sure that will work out fine.

Qualifications are irrelevant. Who kisses the ring and will impose policy without question gets the position

The only bright spot is he was the only one at Fox to push back against what Trump said about Mattis and Kelly. That won't get him enough respect though from the existing flag staff. Not with his only being a retired junior officer with no civilian leadership experience. His combat experience can only garner so much, especially since the forever wars mean a lot of officers at flag ranks have more than he does.
