Among Wall Street executives, billionaire businessmen and generals, where is the swamp-draining and populism Trump promised?

Trump has already selected three retired top military officers for his administration — Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn for national security adviser, Gen. James Mattis for Defense secretary and Gen. John Kelly for Homeland Security secretary.

He’s also reportedly considering retired Adm. James Stavridis and former Gen. David Petraeus for the coveted secretary of State position.

For director of national intelligence, the president-elect is thinking about choosing Petraeus — if he does not make the cut for State — and Adm. Michael Rogers, the current head of the National Security Agency.

    Obviously, much depends on the individual nominee. But overall, I do not have a problem with retired generals in senior positions related to foreign policy.

    Unlike chickenhawks like John Bolton, these men have seen the cost of war up close. DHS nominee Gen. John Kelly has lost a son in Afghanistan. So I would give Dear Leader the benefit of the doubt on the generals being added to the cabinet. They might be our best hope of keeping the country out of another pointless war with another general’s son or daughter coming home in a body bag, along with thousands of other sons and daughters.

    Is this going to be a cabinet or a junta?
