I'm glad to see a strong leader in that advisory position. My concern is what will happen when the President doesn't agree with the General's advice. The President doesn't seem to have a lot of tolerance for opposing viewpoints.

MAJ Bryan Zeski
LTC Becky Yurek - There are no real checks and balances in the Constitution for advisors. He can bring them in and cut them loose at the drop of a hat. My concern is that when he gets an advisor that he disagrees with, he'll just drop them until he gets advisors who advise what he wants to hear, rather than what is actually going on - or what he should really be considering - especially in terms of national security.
Given that we're near the anniversary of a very bad executive order about 75 years ago, I think it's important for the President to have advisors that see the big picture. I hope that's what this General provides - and I hope the President listens to him.
