In one of Woodward's books--I believe it was "Rage" but it might have been "Peril"--it is reported that Jim Mattis slept in his clothes during one period of time because he so feared Trump would order a surprise nuclear attack on North Korea.

And if any of you have read Woodward's latest, "War," you know how hard Lloyd Austin works. At a moment's notice he has to be ready to fly to Europe, the Middle East, etc...

The last thing we need in that post is an alcoholic.
