Allen West for Secretary of Defense
Guava Cheese Puff | December 30, 2018 | Guava Cheese Puff

Why not Lt. Col. Allen West for the next Secretary of Defense? He's old-school, no-nonsense, and if President Donald Trump nominates a black conservative to lead the U.S. armed forces, the Left will go in violence mode, don't you think?

He wasn’t for Trump. This is not going to happen.

I do not think West supports the planned pullout from Syria and Afghanistan. He may not be a good fit without a number of active wars.

General Flynn would be a much better choice, once his legal outcome has been properly managed.

Allen West is AGAINST ending US involvement in the civil war in Syria. Not a good fit with Trump’s vision of US military expenditures in the middle-east.

Gen Tata is a much better fit, and has no legal problems.

It is a rather large organization for someone whose only admin experience is as an LTC.

Hard to imagine a better fit than Michael Flynn.

And his legal situation was fabricated from thin air.

Never happen. Not experienced enough will be the claim...although we did have Chuck Hagel try it for a while.

True, but I doubt West is in the picture.
