I had an article in the stack about survival skills vs Job skills which is along the same lines.
John McCain has good survival skills which is to resist the guards at all cost. I think he has a built in chip on his shoulder regarding Trump and sees himself as champion of the mavericks . It worked great for his captivity but not too well as a Senator. His first instinct it to resist authority. Any study of his life will show that he resist discipline most likely as a result of his Admiral Father and Grandfather. I have the utmost admiration for that trait in his POW survival but think he it does not go well in governing. But is is possible to admire one character trait and at the same time criticize that same trait in regards to other job requirements. I have no doubt that Gen Kelly will stand up well or he will tell the "D" where to stick it in true Marine fashion. As the most famous Marine Chesty Puller once said when he came to a Marine base. "Take me to the brig, I want to see the real Marines." |
Well said. He truly is.
Priebus would have been the perfect guy under a different president. I pray that John Kelly will suit The Donald. |
I have never met a New York City native who was not brash, outspoken, rude, and perhaps self-centered. I say that not as pejorative but it is a survival skill required in the city of the Big Apple. I also note that most have a very thin skin regarding criticism.
When the country elected someone from New York, they should not be surprised when they see the New York Attitude on display. For good or bad, he does not suffer facilitators well. After all he is the epitome of the good old NY, Bronx, Queens Attitude. HEY I'M WALKING HERE. Bless his little heart. |

Maybe, that is why Trump hires generals; because, they are the only ones who he will allow to talk to him in that straightforward manner.
