Breaking: Trump names Army Lt. Gen. HR McMaster as national security adviser, after Flynn ousted in Russia scandal

I don’t know if taking a service position perfectly equates with affiliating oneself with the commander in chief. The role you are suited for is your role, deciding who is in command is for the public and Congress, two separate things.

If it does equate a declaration of affiliation , everyone in all the services is also doing exactly this, and so it is probably proper behaviour for a person?. Lots of service people, for example, will have been powerfully against President Obama and all the acts of his administration.

Head down, chop wood, is the way to get stuff done.

Sure. Maybe this would be good from the point of view of reducing his capacity for harming the state, and making his re-election less likely though.
