they somehow hang on. i would say those people represents more of a trumpian world view, the national security foreign policy establishment has sort of failed and led america into a series of blunders, they are response for the iraq war and cheered on libya which turned out to be a disaster. they think the experts that everyone on the tv shows and council on foreign relations thinks so highly of are overrated and don't have great judgment. it's possible that it's that kind of person who still hanging on the administration who seems to be gunning for hr mcmaster. it's not clear whether there are genuine tensions with tprds. i would as a closing note add o the afghanistan stuff, this is mcmaster's war seems silly to me, talking about sending more troops to afghanistan. barack obama sent 30,000 and this 5,000 would be primarily a training role and obama's were in a combat role. this idea reflects centrist foreign policy thinking.
