Lloyd Austin, a recently retired Black four-star general, has been named as the likely nominee to be Secretary of Defense in the Biden-Harris cabinet. This proposal has been met with controversy. Some have lamented the fact that the norm of civilian control of the military is weakened by this choice; others are disappointed that a woman was not chosen. Defenders of the choice believe that is past time to have a Black American serve in the post. All agree that the post is an important one and likely to be pivotal in the development and execution of defense policy in a post-Trump world.
