The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's why folks are pointing out that purging the military of people that are perceived to be disloyal to the person of the President is typically not associated with a desire for efficiency, but more commonly an exercise in trying to fill positions with people that are personally loyal to the leader, rather than professionals who will do what the leader tells them because it's their job. That doesn't often turn out for the benefit of the nation, rather than the leader personally. - Albaby

When a major goal is to overhaul the moribund inefficient Pentagon procurement processes, necessary to rebuild our military, then the simpatico arrangement between the Generals and Defense contractors must be degraded. Breaking those bonds necessarily requires a degree of "out with the old".
