He didn’t say it’s “well administered” (how well or poorly administered it is is multifaceted and certainly arguable). He said it has high “administrative capacity”. For example, the US military was able to deliver billions of dollars of equipment to Ukraine in a matter of weeks, sending dozens to hundreds of planeloads every day across an ocean, as part of a complicated worldwide supply chain. They did not need to ask permission for this (except from the President), run public hearings in advance, go through court battles, etc., but could just get started right away.
- colpabar 4y agoYes, I personally LOVE that the military can do so much without having to ask for permission.
- robonerd 4y agoThat didn't happen. They received orders to do all of this from civilian leadership.
- scarface74 4y agoThey did get permission from the civilian commander and chief.
- olddustytrail 4y agoThe title is "Commander in Chief". It's in the US Constitution. The phrase is a little older: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander-in-chief https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander-in-chief
