While I accept the importance of this article, in principle, the final paragraph about Pres. Trump "signalling" the DOD simply makes no sense. Trump is the Commander in Chief, and doesn't NEED to merely "signal" the DOD, he would simply make a call on the phone, send a MEMO, or summon Chris Miller to the Oval Office and TELL him what he wants done. Every time I see an article about Trump "signalling" someone, I just want to laugh. That is NOT how a commander works, he directly tells them what he wants, how he wants it, and what their timeline is.
HOWEVER.....I think it is his way of including us. He wants his words out there in the public domain so that anyone can see them, its his way of communicating directly, to include us.

He obviously has given the order officially too.
Now THIS ^^^ makes sense. Good reply, thanks.
