As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs under President Obama, he was a professional and a team player, although appointed to that post by President Bush. If President Obama is going to put a republican in charge of State or the UN, or Defense, Mullen would be an excellent choice. Mullen is currently part of a high level group that is investigating the Benghazi attack, that group was appointed by President Obama.
