Bob Hale is leaving the Defense Department. The White House announced yesterday it nominates Mike McCord, Hale’s deputy, to become the next Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller). Hale says he’ll stay on the job until McCord is confirmed. Dov Zakheim, Comptroller from 2001 to 2004, is a senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and author of “A Vulcan’s Tale: How the Bush Administration Mismanaged the Reconstruction of Afghanistan.” He shares what he thinks people will remember Hale for.
