    Well, Oblowme nominated him in the first place...

    Seriously, though, his experience is in theoretical physics, not military operations and tactics. He may be a sharp mind in the former, but his lack of experience in the latter makes him a questionable choice for SecDef. Much like Obama's "Ebola Czar", who is supposed to coordinate a response to an infectious disease, but has no experience in epidemiology, healthcare management, or emergency management. He has in fact no relevant experience to the requirements of the position.

    Ashton Carter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton_Carter

    ETA: He was Deputy SecDef under Clinton, so he has some experience. But given the fustercluck that the military became under Clinton, I have my doubts...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
