      8. And of course Trump seems to have a (justified) inferiority complex to military men, perhaps going back to his military school days.

      9. So for series of intertwined reasons, military leaders gaining power in Trump administration.

      10. The good news is the military leaders (McMaster/Mattis) are much more competent & informed than anyone else in Trumpworld.

      11. The bad news is their whole formation has been in military so by instinct they will look for military solutions to problems.

      12. One of the distinguishing features of American Republic is that Presidents have always had the final say over military.

      13. Lincoln over McClellan, Truman over MacArthur, JFK over LeMay, Obama over McCrystal. The President always has the last word.

      14. If it came down to Trump versus Mattis/McMaster, are we ready to support the doofus president over his competent generals?

      15. But it probably won't come down to Trump versus Mattis/McMaster because Trump's instincts will be to give Pentagon what it wants.

      16. Obama resisted intense Pentagon & Nat. Sec. State pressure to intervene in Syria. In comparable situation, would Trump resist?

      17. To be clear: I don't expect a military coup. But we are entering a period where military will have unusual level of political power.

      18. In retrospect, Kushner's trip to Iraq looks like brilliant move by Pentagon to get crucial son-in-law on side.

          is there sense that Pentagon engineered this by getting Kushner's ear during Iraq trip?

          And what's the betting with some military theatre Kushner is so impressed that he's very easily lead towards the Pentagon view?
