I know. In the past whether it was a republican or a democrat administration, they have always taken the counsel of the DOD very seriously. But like many things after this consequential election, the country is in uncharted territory. The US has always had a president with past government leadership or military experience.
U.S.C. Article Two, Section 1 needs changes but that won't happen with constitutional purists currently in power.

Chavez wrecked Venezuela in part by trying to "purge the insiders." That never works. Problem is that the insiders know everything and have all the skills and expertise. Chavez was a left-populist and Trump is a right-populist, but history seems to show similar outcomes for populists of any type.
