Lloyd Austin is the current SecDef. He is a retired United States Army four-star general. So is he a trusted military insider, or a DS guy? "Austin was the 33rd vice chief of staff of the Army from January 2012 to March 2013" - so a pretty high-up military guy.
The reason I ask is, the 'Military' (senior generals/etc) seems to be above reproach when it comes to DS/Cabal discussions. But here we have a former general now in the Biden admin.
