GEN Mattis would be a good choice. He'd clean house of this P.C. Stupidity.

“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms”

“The best things in life are beyond money; their price is agony and sweat and devotion ... and the price demanded for the most precious of all things in life is life itself - ultimate cost for perfect value.”

After eight, dark years of a miserable presidency, and seeing the "Sun coming up" after that long period, I'm willing to hope that "... Trump pointed to Mattis and called him 'a great man'" will result in the suggested positive outcome...

Current word is that if Mattis can get a waiver from the House and the Senate,  removing the 7 - year wait after active duty, he will be the SecDef nominee.
CNN, Reuters,  WAPO, etc...

LTG(R) Michael Flynn is in the same position, and IIRC, he got a waiver.
