    It’s when you replace an Army four star general with a major from the national guard.

    The reason they keep saying the word merit is to convince their base they have any. Many of them do not. No offense to any retired majors out there, but do any of you think you are more qualified than a 4 star general to fill the position of Secretary of Defense?

      Well I would ask what they’ve done in addition to being a Major. Just in case it’s something that qualifies them to run an organization with over a million people and a budget that’s nearly a trillion dollars. You know like being a news reporter for a biased organization. (Ugh)
