Michael McCormick’s Reviews > Man at the Helm > Status Update

So, McMaster points out the Vietnam absurdity of having lawyers in charge of formulating military strategy. I guess I am not one of those reasonable men that would have qualified. I got two words for Cadet basketball player number 2 Ryan Curry: transfer portal. That whole place is skating on thin ice. McMaster complains that Mad Dog wouldn't work with him, then H.R., after my HANDSHAKE disses me as young and stupid.

One of the things that I liked most about what LTG McMaster did for DJT was not to send DJT's letter to Putin, congratulating Putin on another (rigged) election win because it just so happened at the same time that Putin's henchpeople came very close to killing Skirpal and his daughter in the UK with nerve agent. Saving people from themselves is the sign of a true friend.

Sure, I read all three of LTG McMaster's books, first Battlegrounds, then Dereliction of Duty, then At War with Ourselves. It was obvious that LTG McMaster saw an added benefit in remaining on active duty while serving as DJT's national security advisor: to avoid the bastardization of the trusted military uniform like Gen. Taylor did as CJCS leading up to the Vietnam tragedy. We'd get along great: I'm very "groupy."
