Sgt Wayne Wood this came up in my twitter feed, and I had to laugh. I saw a news report that said there is a small issue with the nomination. There is an obscure law that requires the Secretary of Defense to be 7 years departed from the military to maintain civilian oversight of the military. As if General Mattis is going to suddenly not be a marine three years (as he is now) seven years, or ten years after his retirement from Active Duty. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I think it is stupid anyway. Why would you want someone removed from the military as secretary of defense? I hope Congress acts to make this happen as they did for Marshall.
