Not a damn clue. And I would argue that it’s not a terribly important thing for your average American to know, either. Just because I’m curious, I’ll look it up…
I didn’t know either lol. I’ve also never heard of Lloyd Austin. For that matter, I’m not sure who was secretary of defense during Facts of Life’s run - “Casper Weinberger” comes to mind for some reason.
Very good, he was '81 to '87! And I’ve actually heard of him, although only because his name was in Bloom County. The others that it could conceivably have been are Harold Brown and Frank Carlucci, but it was probably Weinberger when this question was asked.
Bloom County was so good. I can only hope that Berkeley Breathed hasn’t become a rightwing crackpot cunt like so many of the other cartoonists from his era. I’m genuinely afraid to look it up.
OK. Now who’s the secretary of defense?

Lloyd Austin. Never heard of him.

He hasn’t. In fact, he brought the strip back for a while so he could mock Trump some more.
Faith in humanity: restored. Breathed’s humanity, anyways.
Robert Macnamara
Do I care that was forever ago and he’s dead?
No
