Rubin's opinion that generals should be barred from serving in civilian capacity has merit if it is aimed by active generals and not retired generals. As I recall, Congress has a law that before a general can serve as Secretary of the DOD, he needed to be retired for five years.

Trump has ceded much authority to his appointed generals. Since Trump has NO concept of civilian control of the military and its importance to our republic, Trump is tearing it at the seams.

I can't honestly say who controls who in the Tumor administration. Does Trump control the generals or the generals Trump?

This should be a concern to everyone.


Our first President Started the Military

I like to look at individuals, not some blanket thrown over a bunch of people to catch as many as possible, by association. Unless it has the word Democrat involved.

Obviously Trump controls the generals.
Trump's style of governing has been 100% Trump-like since Kelly arrived.
Trump is the most powerful man America has ever produced.
There is not one man in history that could ever change Trump.
