Joe Biden: Why i choose Lloyd Austin as Secretary of defense
According to the President Elect Joe Biden, in the many hours we’ve spent together in the Situation Room and with our troops—I’ve witnessed General Austin’s character.
He shares my belief that we are strongest when we lead not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example.
The 67-year-old Lloyd Austin graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. in 1975 and has more than 40 years of experience in uniform across the Middle East.
“I look forward to once again working closely with him as a trusted partner to lead our military with dignity and resolve, revitalize our alliances in the face of global threats, and ensure the safety and security of the American people,” Biden said in the statement.
Lloyd, if confirmed by Congress, will become the first African-American secretary of defense in U.S. history he says…
