Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

While I deeply respect Gen. Austin’s service to our country, I strongly believe in civilian control of the military. It’s a principle that dates to our nation’s founding & required by law that the head of @DeptofDefense must be a civilian or retired from active duty for 7 years. — PolitiTweet.org

General Lloyd Austin is a historic, barrier-breaking choice, who knows what our servicemembers need to succeed in their missions and would bring extensive experience to the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Given Gen. Austin would need a waiver from Congress, it’s important Gen. Austin & the Biden Admin. explain why he should be granted an exception. As a @SASCDems member, I look forward to discussing this issue during the confirmation & Gen. Austin’s vision for the @DeptofDefense. — PolitiTweet.org
