“He’s bringing attention to it……but he’s putting the FOCUS on the JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF. He is putting less blame on the kid who did it, & more blame on the JOINT STAFF’S competency or trustworthiness.” – Karma Patriot, Spitballer
“THEY ARE ABUSING THEIR ROLE & HAVE UNCONSTITUTIONALLY INSERTED THEMSELVES INTO THE CHAIN OF COMMAND.” – KARMA PATRIOT
“Today, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have no executive authority to command combatant forces. The issue of executive authority was clearly resolved by the Goldwater-Nichols DOD Reorganization Act of 1986: “The Secretaries of the Military Departments shall assign all forces under their jurisdiction to unified and specified combatant commands to perform missions assigned to those commands…”; the chain of command “runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense; and from the Secretary of Defense to the commander of the combatant command.”
