Biden/Harris to Name Hawkish General Lloyd Austin as “War Secretary”
US generals and admirals aren’t doves.
They earn stars and medals by waging preemptive wars to advance the nation’s imperial aims.
Throughout the post-WW II period — from North Korea in the early 1950s to the present day — US wars have always been against invented enemies.
The common thread behind attacking them is for being unwilling to subordinate their sovereign rights to US interests.
According to Defense News and establishment media reports, Biden/Harris chose retired four-star Army general Lloyd Austin as regime war secretary.
He requires a congressional waiver to serve in the post because of his recent military service, likely to be gotten.
If confirmed as expected, he’ll be the third former US military official to serve as war secretary — George Marshall and James (“mad dog”) Mattis the other two.
Austin will be the first African American to serve in the post.
A West Point graduate, he headed three Army airborne commands, US forces —Iraq, was Army vice chief of staff and CENTCOM head.
He’s a global war OF terror veteran, in charge of US aggression in Afghanistan and Iraq — nonbelligerent countries threatening no one, invented enemies, not the real thing…….
