Opinion | Harris’s role in Afghanistan, Ukraine and other national security hot spots - The Washington Post

They all expressed versions of the same basic theme: Harris behaves like the prosecutor she was for much of her career. She's skeptical, probing, sometimes querulous. She can be impatient and demanding. But she asks good questions. And if she's convinced of the need, she's not afraid to act. "She's more hard-line than most people think," said one retired four-star general who has briefed her many times. 

One top member of her staff put it this way: "She's always the same person, pushing for information, making sure people aren't bulls----ing her." Having watched her often in discussions about using military force, he concluded: "Her approach is to measure twice, cut once. But she's not afraid to take the shot."…

The Supreme Court splits on whether Joe Biden is commander-in-chief - Vox

…As Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained in a brief opinion laying out why the lower court erred, this court "in effect inserted itself into the Navy's chain of command, overriding military commanders' professional military judgments." Had the Court ruled the other way in SEALs, it would have effectively placed itself at the apex of the military's chain of command, displacing Biden as commander-in-chief. 

But as Kavanaugh correctly notes in his concurring opinion, there is a long line of Supreme Court precedents establishing that courts should be exceedingly reluctant to interfere with military affairs…

Isn’t Trump supposed to be commander-in-chief? -- Salon

One of the many bromides of American discourse, repeated without two seconds of forethought, is that the United States has "the greatest military in the world." The only nuance permissible in reaction to bipartisan chest pounding is to widen the endorsement: "America has the greatest military in the history of the world." The historical inconvenience of America's losing record never gives pause to even the most deliberate Pentagon booster. Not since World War II has the United States "won" a Read the full story

Why Trump Fails—and Clinton Passes—the Commander-in-Chief Test

Three months ago, my former boss and mentor, retired Defense Secretary Bob Gates, questioned whether Donald Trump has the temperament to be president. While I fully share Secretary Gates’ concerns about Trump’s disposition, I am equally troubled by the Republican nominee’s views on national security, which he laid out again at a startling news conference on Wednesday, including the bizarre claim that “NATO changed their whole program because of me” and he might let Russia keep Crimea. He also appeared to call upon Moscow to launch another cyber-invasion of the U.S. so as to find Hillary Clinton’s "30,000 emails that are missing."

America today faces three principal national security threats: from radical Islamists, who seek to terrorize Americans and overthrow the existing order in the Middle East; from a resurgent Russia, which seeks to reassert its dominance over the former Soviet Empire and overthrow the existing order in Europe; and from a rising China, which seeks suzerainty in Asia. In all three areas, Trump has shown a limited grasp of the nature of the threat and has proposed strategies that would make America less secure....
