"Work with" sounds innocuous but it’s actually “part of the JS effort to slowly degrade civilian control of the military.”

In several recent publications, I’ve seen quotes from the Joint Staff that the Chairman is “ready to work with” President Trump. This phraseology should concern anyone who cares about civilian control of the military. First, the Chairman doesn’t have an option to work for the President, the duly elected Commander-in-Chief. Second, the President isn’t his equal, and he doesn’t work with him — he works for him. This is all part of the JS effort to slowly degrade civilian control of the military.
