My Take
Keith Kellogg's career is a study in the long arc from soldier to statesman. He earned his stripes the hard way, a Silver Star and a chest full of combat decorations going back to Vietnam-era service, and that battlefield credibility shaped how he operated in Washington's national-security circles decades later. Whatever one makes of the political administrations he advised, his record reflects a lifetime steeped in military strategy and decision-making at the highest levels. He's the sort of figure who personifies how deeply intertwined America's military and policy worlds can be.
