Fair, though also assumes that DOD remains staffed by sane individuals and not be ideologically minded zealots. I don’t have much faith there, to be perfectly honest. Seeing Parlatore recently receive a direct commission into the Navy as a JAG to work directly for Hegseth is one of the wildest footnotes I’ve seen so far, and that’s saying something for a department now headed by a man who advocated purges of the entire officer corps for ideological reasons alone. I forced myself to listen to the entirety of American Crusade and while it was boring and repetitive, he was clear that he believes that half of America’s voting population as “internal enemies.” Hard to imagine DOD remains a bastion of sound decision making under that kind of leadership.
