It is worrisome to see three generals (two of them marines) occupying the highest national security positions in any administration in offices usually occupied by civilians. Our government historically has been lead by civilians in control of the military. Now, it is the other way around. Regardless of the personal anecdotes about these specific generals, they have a history of extreme hawkishness and not getting along with civilians in government. Will they be joined by Petraeus at State?
