They will replace Army Gen. Raymond T. Odierno and Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, whose traditional four-year stints leading their services expire later this year.<\/p>\n
Carter called Milley a \u201cwarrior and a statesmen\u201d and Richardson a \u201cgo-to officer\u201d for many challenges the Navy has faced in recent years. He appeared alongside them at the Pentagon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I like Milley, just from reading his bio. Those of you who served under him may have a different opinion. Apparentl,y Milley was commissioned as an armor officer but spent most of his career as an infantry and special forces officer. He has a second award of the CIB (Panama and GWOT) and an Expert Infantryman Badge. Anyone can make a mistake (become an armor officer) and recover from it (become an infantry officer). He’s an ROTC grad, commissioned from the Princeton program.<\/p>\n
Richardson, on the other hand, is a Naval Academy grad and a career bubblehead. Again, those of you who have served with him know more than I do about him or his career.<\/p>\n
On the upside, they can’t do much worse than their predecessors have done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
