Arnold Punaro, a retired Marine Corps major general and former staff director of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the lack of confirmed leaders in the highest ranks of the Pentagon “a mission impossible situation.”
“No reflection on Lt. Gen. Heckl but he was not selected to be either the CMC or ACMC,” Punaro wrote in a Tuesday email, referring to the top two jobs in the Corps. “He is NOT the person that the system determined to be the best qualified and best leader for those positions.”
