dawei Posted December 21, 2018 So the Mattis resignation has caused a stir.  I had commented in another thread that maybe Mattis who is used to calling the shots now realizes he cannot do his mad-dog thing in this role.  I wanted to look up any policy on the SoD and found some interested issues like the SoD is usually a civilian and cannot be a military person who has retired within 7 years without a waiver. Mattis was just the second person to get such a waiver.  https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/why-congress-mandates-civilians-lead-military-n691296  https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/113  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
