Likely Pick: Douglas Macgregor
EDUCATION:
West Point (B.S.)
University of Virginia (M.A, Ph.D)
Relationship with Rand: NONE
Why him: Non-Interventionist, Leadership roles in the Army, skeptic of broad executive power, believes in reducing overseas footprint and reforming pentagon.
FLAWS: Would be perceived as weak on defense for advocating neutrality policies, especially in middle east. Skeptical of NATO Alliance.
Secondary Choice: Andrew Bacevich
Wildcards: Antonio Taguba, Anthony Shaffer
If none of these seem plausible, who do you think Rand would select as Secretary of Defense?
