Pacific Command’s Adm. Locklear Shortlisted for Joint Chiefs Chairman

Adm. James “Sandy” Winnefeld, currently the vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs, has a personal connection to senior White House officials, and is also on the short list to become chairman. He’s also thought to be someone who wants the job. In addition to Locklear, two other names are thought to be on the list: Gen. Mark Welsh, Air Force chief of staff and member of the Joint Chiefs, and Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. Central Command.

I worked for ADM Locklear when he was NAVEUR during the operation against Libya. He's a true gentleman, and a very good leader. (I'm ignoring his statements on Global Warming....)

Chinese hackers, a Nuclear North Korea and our biggest security threat is global warming ?
...I wonder if he also thinks ISIS is the JV team.

What is the point spread on bets related to his alignment with other pet social programs of the current administration that may impact the US military?


However, if you have a guy waiting in the wings named "James" that served as the commander of the "Enterprise" how can you possibly consider putting anyone else is charge of Starfleet Command?

Really?
Is there anyone else even CLOSE to being THAT qualified?
...this is the guy that turned the Enterprise on a dime to go and kick the shit out of Bad Guys of his own accord on 9/11.
