#4 Maybe B, but the treatment of Major James Weirick is right out of the Obama Administration playbook. He's more likely to find a job 'upstairs' at the White House by playing with the team. Sacrifice the NSA head to the Euros, and give the Commandant the job as an interim appointment.

#6 General Amos was picked as Commandant because he is a "smart Marine" (derogation intended.) Meaning his views pretty much meshed with the current political elites' views, long before he became the assistant commandant.

Then again, the current military leadership at the JCS/equivalent level aren't there because of their military record, IMNSHO.

#7 Politically Compliant. That's what this entire generation of Obama officers is.
