understand how serious the situation is with north korea. that being said, i know that there are times where he has to act quickly, and i m fine with that. because we have to make sure that north korea doesn t chance. it s scary to see what s happening. it s scary to know they want us gone. all of us on both sides of the aisle really want to be engaged in what s happening before we make any major steps. let me ask you, jason candor, you are in addition to being a former missouri state official, a veteran of the army, and there s been a lot of talk this week about how much president trump is deferring to the generals. whether it comes to the syria strike, most particularly with the bomb dropped in afghanistan, not clear president trump knew about that ahead of time even and when it comes to north korea, general, secretary mattis is the one who issued a statement yesterday. are you concerned about that at all or do you like the deference to the generals?
