我见我思 我闻

欣见首位黑人国防部长

不顾许多人的反对，总统当选人拜登今天任命了退休的黑人将军罗尔奥斯丁出任国防部长， 将来撑握五角大厦的军事大权，我们对於奥斯丁将军之出缐表示无限的兴奋和支持，这更是新政府重视种族平衡及用人唯才的表现。他的任命也显示在国防领域中绝大多数是白人将领的天下得到改善，十年前，奥斯丁将军首次被拔擢提升為陆军参谋部之処长，是撑控陆军部队的主要人物。

二0二0年九月，时任美国和联军驻伊拉克指挥官的他，在巴格达认识了在当地视察的拜登副总统， 在奥巴马政府中，他被认命為美军中部战区司令，主要驻守在中东地区，他也是官阶仅次於鲍尔将军的黑人军事将领。

正如拜登在竞选中之承诺，我们欣见各种族裔正在进入白宫内阁，尤其是非裔人士，这充分表明拜登和川晋截然不同之处。

国事如麻， 百废待举，俗语说， 家和万事兴 ，在我们这个国家的大家庭中正逐渐表现出领导者之气度和决心。

First African-American Secretary of Defense

President-elect Biden appointed the first black man, retired General Lloyd J. Austin III, as the Secretary of Defense. Austin rose to the highest military role in spite of the largely white leadership in the ranks.

General Austin was the director of the Joint Staff, one of the most powerful behind the

scenes positions in the military.

In September 2010 at a ceremony at the Al-Faw palace in Baghdad attended by then Vice President Biden, General Austin was commanding general in Iraq. It was at this time they started a relationship.

In the Obama administration, General Austin was appointed head of the United States Central Command--the country’s premier military command and the one that fights the war in the Middle East.

We are so glad that President-elect Biden is keeping his promise to name all color and ethnic groups to the top positions.

Today President Trump still doesn’t want to admit that he has lost the election. The legal fight for the election still continues to the U.S. Supreme Court while people around the world still can’t understand why the democratic system didn’t function very well this time.

As an old saying goes, “If a family is in harmony, everything will be successful.”

For America today, we really don’t see that happening.
