Well, first of all, remember that your general officer corps is different from the rest of the officer corps.

That doesn't mean there aren't lots of full colonels out there who are desperate to be generals. And so they'll try to provide you with the answer they think is most likely to get them promoted. Right. Okay? But when you go into the general officer corps at the three- and four-star level, they have been conditioned for decades to look for trouble, literally. Right.

In other words, go out and find a reason why we need Central Command. We need Africa Command. We need European Command. We need Pacific Command. Now we call it Indo-Pacific. Insane. When I was sitting over at the National Defense University before I retired, they came over and said, well, we're going to have Africa Command. And I looked at, and Abizade at the time was the J-5. I said, why?

I mean, how would you feel if you're an African? Well, the United States military has now created a command and calls it Africa Command. How's that good for Africa? Are you planning on invading? I mean, having been to Africa, the last thing Africans need is a column of U.S. or British or French troops marching through the neighborhood. It's a disaster.

They have enough violence and problems there. We don't need to add to it. I think President Trump wants to get rid of Africa. We don't need most of these. We should have four. We should have Northern Command, Pacific Command, Southern Command, and Atlantic Command. That's it. You know why? Because that's all we need. You know why we have all these commands?

This all emerged as a result of the Second World War. because you needed layered commands over distance to communicate. I mean, if you take a drive out to Kansas, one of my favorite states, and I was stationed at both Leavenworth and Fort Riley. Why is Fort Riley where it is from Fort Leavenworth? Because it takes exactly one day on horseback to ride from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley.

And that was important 130, 140 years ago because you had Arapahos and Comanches and other people who could interfere with you. So you had to be able to get somewhere to reinforce or support someone else. That's gone. We don't have to do that now. You can have instantaneous communications almost anywhere in the world if you want it immediately.

You can have visibility of everything thanks to the satellite arrays that we have of everything. You don't have to have commands for every region in the world. And we don't have to strive for global military hegemony. What we need to do is be resolute in the defense of our country here in the Western Hemisphere. So those four commands make sense.
