Well, I guess that history repeats itself. Yesterday Americas Commander and Chief nominated Ashton Carter to be the future Secretary of Defense.
As Secretary of Defense Carter will be the second highest person in the Chain of Command of the Americas Armed Forces but not once in Carters lifetime has he screamed out in reply "Yes Drill Sargent" or salute anyone wearing brass on their shoulder since he never served a single day in a uniform defending America.
Oh well, I guess if you can be Commander and Chief and not ever served you can certainly nominate anyone to be the boss in the Pentagon. Isn't that "Executive Privilege?"
