The U.S. Military’s Limited Critique of Itself Ensures Future Disasters
President Trump has selected Army Lt Gen H.R. McMaster to be his new National Security Adviser. McMaster is a "warrior" and a true believer in military power, applied intelligently, that is. He has been highly critical of political power brokers in Washington, DC, and wrote a book on the mishandling of the military during the Vietnam War. Back in 2013, he wrote an article for the New York Times, an article I critiqued in the following post. McMaster, intelligent and well-read, nevertheless is defined by his military experience, seeing "security" as something to be attained through the savvy use of power by warriors like himself.
