UPDATE. I took a beat to drink this in and its still wow. What does this mean? It means a revival of the ground combat force. It means a hard look at the F-35. It probably means a lesser focus on Special Operations. This is a revolutionary pic. I don't know if its a good pic but it is out of the park. What I don't know is his relationship to Mattis. He's not a Mattis acolyte. He's independent from what I can tell (although he grates on my nerves!). What has been accomplished with this pic? He broke up a potential power center that Mattis was putting together at the NSC and the nexus of power between the NSC/DoD is forever broken (to a degree). One other thing. McMaster is ambitious. The guy wants it all, whatever that is. He's gonna stand his ground when it comes to the internal battles I see shaping up between the Establishment (Mattis) and the Revolutionaries (Bannon).
What do you call the Trump team? A group of rivals!
