>> do you draw any conclusions on whether being apolitical in a west vang that we already in this hour described as a circular firing squad, do you think it is better armor than most? >> i think it is better armor but it is not fool proof. i mean, we've already seen -- a lot of us wonder when h.r. mcmaster was named national security adviser how long it would take him to butt heads with steve bannon and sort of the nationalist wing and that faction that's very strong in the white house. all of these generals have world views that are internationalists. they've served overseas many times, they've dealt with alliances. it's very much different from the nationalist world view of the steve bannons of the world. you've seen this war now between h.r. mcmaster and the bannon faction with breitbart basically running 11 stories basically headlining saying mcmaster must go.
