高级研究员里德-博纳多纳(Reed Bonadonna)是美国海军陆战队的一名退役上校,他讨论了道德在向平民生活过渡中的作用。他以艾森豪威尔总统和格兰特总统为理想榜样,详细介绍了退伍军人可以为政治领域带来的特质。目前的退伍政治家群体是否更适合跨党派合作?三位将军离开了特朗普政府的高官职位,白宫又发生了什么变化?
Senior Fellow Reed Bonadonna, a retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel, discusses the role of ethics in the transition to civilian life. With presidents Eisenhower and Grant as the ideal examples, he also details the attributes that veterans can bring to the political realm. Are the current group of veteran politicians better-positioned to work across the aisle? And what's changed in the White House now that three generals have left high-profile posts in the Trump administration?
