Three Generals in Trumps high level staff and Cabinet. Anyone worried?
With three general officers in top admin posts named so far, is anyone concerned that the military is getting too munch power in the civilian arena?
I know the Eisenhower had to step down as a 5 star general when he was elected president but 5 stars carry a different responsibility and have different rules the main one being they never retire they just keep going.
These general have all retired after years of service to the country. All have great credentials for the positions they have been nominated for. I don't dsee an issue here. They will take the oath of office and have clearly demonstrated the capability and capacity to uphold that oath on multiple occasions.
Me? I'm not worried, I'm proud that men like these are willomg tp gp through the confirmation process and continue to serve their country..
