Former U.S. servicemen are only allowed to assume the role of Defence Secretary at least seven years after leaving the uniformed services – a law intended to enforce civilian control of the armed forces. Speaking before the Senate vote today, Senator Jack Reed, the incoming Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said: > General Austin is an exceptionally qualified leader with a long and distinguished career in the U.S. military. *More: Reuters* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
