Tonight on PBS News Weekend, shake up at the Pentagon, what the potential consequences are for the military and the nation.

Admiral Lisa Franquette, the first woman to lead the Navy, General James Slife, the vice chair of the Air Force, as well as the top lawyers for the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

President has selected retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Kane to be the new Joint
