President-elect Donald Trump has tapped retired Marine Gen. John Kelly to lead his Department of Homeland Security, putting yet another high-ranking military officer into a key national security post, according to the Washington Post.
Trump has already made Marine Gen. James Mattis his defense secretary and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn his national security adviser, and he is considering retired Army Gen. David Petraeus for secretary of state.
Kelly, 66, is not expected to face difficulty being confirmed, according to the Post. He is viewed as a border security hawk who will please Trump backers looking for the president-elect to follow through on vows to limit immigration.

…”border security hawk…”
That’s good enough for me, although Lt.Gen. is another plus in my book.
Gentle suggestion. Is there any way the Examiner can lose those annoying pop-up ads?
DeniseVB try Ublock-it is much better than adblock plus

There seems to be a pattern, a special criteria, for those selected by PresElect Trump – men and women who have proven their ability to do the job assigned to them, and their loyalty to protect us in every instance.
No progressives, no cry-baby justice warriors, no special class protecter, just good old-fashioned American patriots who believe in the rule of law.
