3:03Now PlayingIn a year when Hillary Clinton's use of personal email has been a topic of debate, news emerged this week that Defense Secretary Ash Carter has also used personal email for official business during his 10-month tenure at the Pentagon. Gwen Ifill spoke to POLITICO's Michael Crowley before the news broke about Carter's first year in the job. Crowley describes Carter as a "creature of the Pentagon" -- someone familiar with building and how to get things done. Unlike his predecessor Chuck Hagel, Carter has a close working relationship with President Obama, fueled largely by their shared academic backgrounds. In just 10 months, Carter has been able to shepherd two big policy shifts in the Military: allowing women to serve in combat and adopting anti-discrimination measures to protect gay and lesbian troops.
