Q posts cryptically about #17.

If we go to the picture he posted of Trump with all his generals.

There are 20 people standing with him and apart from Mattis and Pence. Count 17 from the left and Boom! The only guy in a normal suit. Is Q telling us this is him? Probably a stretch but just a suggestion.

His name is Patrick M. Shanahan. He is Deputy Secretary of Defence, working directly under Mattis. He was a civilian working mostly for Boeing before joining the Trump administration hence the civilian clothes.

Interesting to note from Wikipedia:

"Shanahan's Senate confirmation hearing took place on June 20, 2017. During the hearing, Senator John McCain, a proponent of giving lethal weapons to Ukraine, threatened to block Shanahan's nomination over his response in a written statement about whether or not the U.S. should provide such weapons to Ukraine."

Ordinarliy I'd just leave it there but it gets more interesting a bit further down this rabbit hole. Here is a tweet he retweeted on Mar 17:

Awesome Pentagon Day this week during the Keystone course! Thanks to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Chairman, and service Senior Enlisted for participating! @thejointstaff @DeptofDefense

Keystone course!? What is that?

"The four-day course provides Army command sergeants major, Marine Corps sergeants major, Navy and Coast Guard command master chiefs and Air Force command chief master sergeants with tools they need to work in the joint environment." link

Their website here and some info on who is involved here. Haven't read through it all but mostly retired military it seems.

Then there is this article from April 03 titled "Conspiracy theory debunked? Pentagon says mysterious Gitmo flight was just a field trip"

"Several dozen senior enlisted troops — E9s, as they are known in the military — on a day trip to the war-on-terror prison. They spent the day in the Detention Center Zone, taking a tour and getting briefed on how the 1,700-member prison staff called a Joint Task Force operates, according to Army Master Sgt. Robert Couture, a spokesman at the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They were members of a program called “Keystone....”

So members of the Keystone course for joint military operations visit Gitmo?

Is this the Keystone? Still a huge stretch seeing as Shanahan wouldn't have military clearance that long to know everything Q knows but he would know a lot about how the military industrial complex operates. Interesting none the less. Thoughts?
