The click-bait headline in the email to get to that article was that the Secy. of Defense had died suddenly.

My objection is to omitting the word “Former” from “Former Secy. of Defense”.

Picky picky like Paulsen’s CIA caricatures comedy character used to say on the Smothers Brothers show. The show must have been a real perspective problem for the agency, because the show was kicked off after only a couple of years.
