If Josh can get a review of anything he wants, that he should start by reviewing the job of Deputy C.O.S. Maybe then he'd understand why separation of powers matters.

That's a good point. If Josh thinks he can review anything, maybe he should start with his own position. Deputy C.O.S. is a powerful role - maybe too powerful.

I disagree. I think Josh is being misunderstood here.

The real question is whether Josh is aware of how this comes across.
