Is the U.N. calling the shots? Either formally or informally?

The UN can't even tie their own shoes let alone plan a conspiracy/take over.

Sgt S.P. Woodke, in a word ... no. I think that's a pretty far fetched idea. No way. Now, there may be issues with U.S. military members serving on U.N. missions. I did that in 1996. But to suggest that the U.N. is somehow "taking over U.S. military leadership." Nope, that's a bridge too far for me.

OK.. I'll be the first to say that our world leadership role has taken a severe hit as of late, but I can't believe that it's been THAT severe. The UN would cease to exits without the US (but that is an entirely different conversation).
