My Take
Michael B. Donley commands a certain respect from me. Born in Novato, California and educated at the University of Southern California, he rose to become the 22nd Secretary of the Air Force, serving under both Bush and Obama. That bipartisan trust is telling: he isn't a showy front-of-stage politician but an operations-minded figure who holds organizations together. Being entrusted twice with administration and management at the Office of the Secretary of Defense underscores a career built on the unglamorous but essential work that keeps institutions running. I reserve my admiration for people who choose responsibility over the spotlight, and Donley is precisely that kind of consequential, behind-the-scenes leader.
