[quote=Anonymous]As the secretary of defense is a civilian position intended to be independent of the active-duty leadership, a secretary is required to have been retired from service for at least seven (originally ten) years unless a waiver is approved by Congress.[22] Since the creation of the position in 1947, such a waiver has been approved only three times, for Army general George Marshall in 1950, Marine Corps General Jim Mattis in 2017, and retired Army general Lloyd Austin in 2021.[23][24] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Defense#:~:text=Since%20the%20creation%20of%20the,general%20Lloyd%20Austin%20in%202021.[/quote]
