Yeah, that's true. I also remember a time when the CIA was doing their dirty work down in South America while Jimmy Carter was in office. Dude isn't as great as everybody thinks he is
I'm an idiot, so I don't know if this is a sensible take. However, coming from a place of political strategy, I'm not sure a lot of presidents can out-maneuver military much. Presidents have term limits and military personnel don't. Both for understandable reasons to be clear. However, it sets up a dynamic where one knows the ins and outs like the back of their hand and the other is like a substitute teacher with a class full of CIA operatives.
Seems reasonable
