Choosing the Secretary of your Branch, should the Selection become a military decision?

(In a perfect world) The President should delegate authority to the SECDEF, Joint Chiefs of Staff and their Senior Enlisted Advisors to screen, hold a board/interview and select the Secretary of Each Branch and inform the President of their choice. This would create a more efficient, well suited, Joint leader to represent each Branch. What do you all think, I know its well above our pay grades, but give some constructive feedback please

I don't think the military members should have any say in who the civilian leadership is. This, IMHO, flies in the face of the concept of a civilian controlled military, and could even border on a conflict of interest. Choosing the civilian leadership should stay with the civilians.

As much as I would like to agree, be careful of taking steps to take military control from civilian hands. Allowing us to control our own appointments is a step in a very dangerous direction IMO

Really? I would figure more productivity for each branch, obviously with the approval from the president
