Short thread. FWIW, my takeaway from conversations last night with recent DOD senior officials: 1) DOD under Esper has pushed back more than many people realize against many Trump ideas, ranging from use of troops here at home, to Afghan withdrawal, to military options re Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

🔥🔥🔥 Fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, in a long interview last week (read the whole thing), on why he chose to pick his fights and tried to stay in his job: "Who’s going to come in behind me? It’s going to be a real ‘yes man.’ And then God help us.” https://t.co/Azf2pH4rKB — PolitiTweet.org

2) Chris Miller's career has been entirely in counter-terrorism, and Trump knows him in that context from his job at NSC. "Totally out of his depth" for broad responsibilities as Sec Def--but if Trump wants to launch more Suleimani-like raids, it would sense to have Miller there. — PolitiTweet.org
