The Trump administration is using its last weeks in office to carry out a slew of changes at the Pentagon. The new president can cancel all of them on Day One.
Troop drawdowns. Advisory board firings. Navy budget overhauls.
The Trump administration is using its last weeks in office to carry out a slew of changes at the Pentagon. But they all have one thing in common: The new president can cancel them on Day One.
Under acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller, whom President Donald Trump appointed to the job after firing his predecessor, Mark Esper, in November, the Pentagon has announced plans to draw down troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia, and has elevated the senior civilian overseeing special operations. Then the White House abruptly fired longtime members of the Defense Policy and Defense Business Boards, replacing them with Trump loyalists.
On Thursday, the White House unveiled a sweeping plan to build new Navy ships by drastically cutting Army and Air Force priorities. The same day, the Pentagon said it was considering withdrawing support for all CIA counterterrorism missions early next year.

WNU Editor: I do not only expect a Biden administration reversing all of President Trump's changes at the Pentagon. I also expect big changes in the State Department .... Progressives, trying to sway Biden, send list with 100 potential foreign policy hires (VOX).

Dems always have mass firings and then there people stay on after Dems lose. We get leaks out the wazoo and obstruction of presidential policy.
Time to fire all Dems like they fire all Republicans.

So... pretty much the same then concerning Trump administration, which experienced the highest turn-over rate for staff for any administration.
This is normal though. A democratic president is going to make a lot of retroactive changes that a republican president made.
I don't know why the WNU Editor (although I can guess) or some elements of the media are making a big deal out of this.
12:06 (Assumed liar & troll until proven otherwise.)
"which experienced the highest turn-over rate for staff for any administration."
Assertion without proof. If it happened considering that Obama was the previous administration, it was necessary.
"On December 7, 2006, the George W. Bush Administration 's Department of Justice ordered the unprecedented midterm dismissal of seven United States attorneys."

Prestitutes always distort things. Here is an example. What the temple press prostitutes failed to mention is that Bill "da Rapist" Clinton had all US attourneys resign in 1993. Not 7 but all.
Maybe you do not know the difference between 7 and all. You are certainly blithely arguing and nonchalantly dismissing problems and concerns.
"Clinton Fired 93 Us Attorneys in One Day, Trump Only 46"
Quiz for 12:06
1.
A) 93 > 7
B) 7 > 93
2.
A) 93 > 46
B) 46 > 93
Be honest 12:06. You picked B) for both questions. You're stupid like that.
Now you have done some good trolling. Ask your boss. I am sure he has something special to give you.
