Preserve the pension, bud. Its all you have left now.

I own the fact I am strongly biased, but McMaster is coming off as a stooge. I knew almost nothing about him before he took this job. His rep was a good one. But man oh man, he's now a political ping png ball. Does he really feel okay showing himself to be a puppet assigned an impossible job.

However he iss active duty so he has less flexiblity.

Two other people declined the NSA position. But they were retired.

He probably couldn't say no.

Maybe is colleges are asking him to stay on to try and protect the country from the crazy.
