"Shanahan joined Boeing in 1986, becoming involved in Computer Services and the Boeing 777 program.[6] Over the course of his career, he held management roles with respect to the Boeing Missile Defense Systems, as well as 737, 747, 767, 777, and 787 commercial airline programs.[7] He also played a role spearheading the recovery of Boeing's 787 program,[8] and was known there as "Mr. Fix-it" from as early as 2008.[9]"
"Shanahan then served as vice president and general manager for Boeing Rotorcraft Systems in Philadelphia.[11] He was responsible for all U.S. Army Aviation programs and site activities in Philadelphia and Mesa, Arizona.[6] Programs at these facilities included the V-22 Osprey, CH-47 Chinook, and the AH-64D Apache.[11]
Shanahan served as vice president and general manager of Boeing Missile Defense Systems, starting in December 2004 overseeing the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, Airborne Laser and Advanced Tactical Laser programs.[5][6] "
"Trump nominated Shanahan to lead plans to increase the size of the military.[15]
Shanahan's Senate confirmation hearing took place on June 20, 2017. During the hearing, Senator John McCain, a proponent of providing arms 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."

I love X22 Reports. Dave believes that Trump uses people until that phase of a project is done. In the case of Jim Mattis, Trump needed a war hawk to flush out ISIS. Now that ISIS is defeated, Mattis is no longer needed. Considering Shanahan's background who is now replacing Mattis, he seems highly qualified to develop the promised Space Force. What do you all think?
