Taylor Hill, VICE: There’s a Sweeping Changeover Happening Among the US Military's Top Brass
There's a sweeping transition happening at the highest level of American military leadership, and two of the new kids on the block - the nominees for chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- are already shaking things up.
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has been in his position for five months. The Senate Armed Services Committee is reviewing President Barack Obama's nomination of General Joseph Dunford as chairman of the joint chiefs and General Paul Selva as second in command as well as upcoming nominations for new service chiefs for the Navy, Army and Marine Corps.
Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., on Tuesday said the new Pentagon leadership faces "the most diverse and complex array of global crises since the end of WWII."
WNU Editor: Past and current Pentagon policies and actions .... regardless of who was/is in charge at the Pentagon .... is (and always will be) directed and managed by the White House. Changing the Pentagon leadership is not going to change its policies and directions.
