DEI is out the window.
The Joint Chiefs will be warriors not politicians.
Combat standards won't be lowered to accommodate women.
Meritocracy will rule.
It's all in his book The War on Warriors - Behind the betrayal of the men who keep us free
There are lots of people in the Pentagon ****ting in their pants rights now.

Let’s GO. 🔥
As a 22 year veteran and current active duty member, I don't know how I feel about this. Accountability is important but really don't like the idea of Generals making risk averse decisions in fear of being fired.
There is a difference in being risk averse in combat and risk averse in order to keep your woke social "credit score" high.

Handsome and a ladies man but….

I mean that's great and all, but can we have some more qualifications for a guy that controls the military 24/7.
21 year military officer, served in combat, infantry, double bronze star
Cool…he survived.
Chris Miller, Wilkie, Bridge Colby…all VASTLY more qualified…AND confirmable.
There's a real chance Hegseth bows out before the process even starts.
Yeah, that's not happening with this public announcement. Cry somewhere else.

Ok, this is the kind of context I was looking for, i.e. why we like him.
Trump's first cabinet was stocked full of relatively experienced and capable people, the problem was that they didn't necessarily execute Trump's vision 100% and earned his ire.
It seems like Trump is stocking up on people he believes will stay loyal to him no matter what (maybe not Rubio though). The problem he might run into though, do they have the experience and the DC grease to get things done and quickly?

I only know this guy as a right wing Fox News commentator/host. This is the only one that has me raising an eyebrow...
IMO Sec Defense needs to be someone with significant leadership and policy experience. He doesn't have it. Might have been a better fit for the VA.
He was on Shawn Ryan just the other day. I haven't finished it but so far so good.
Give it a listen.
Give it a listen.
Lots of traitorous ******** in the Pentagon already plotting against Trump before he takes office. I hope this throws a big wrench into their works.
On one hand, he is not a career military pentagon swamp monster.
After the current SECDEF, can hopefully only go up from here.
I think yall will be happy after you hear from this guy.
CNN already running with the "Trump hires Fox News host as defense secretary" headline. The media is going to continue to double down on their BS rhetoric
Tell me you don't trust anyone in the Pentagon without telling me you don't trust anyone in the Pentagon.
I dont know anything about him, but I'm excited for the amount young people he is appointing. I like the new energy.
From getting outed, to getting shot , to getting re-elected. What a ride.

None of these guys had experience before becoming secretary of defense. They were all politicians or bureaucrats.
Mathis and Austin have command experience and both are clowns.

Yep
Looks like you have very little military history knowledge. US Generals have been fired throught the existence of the US for making bad decisions.OKCAG02 said:

****, look at Lincoln and how many Generals he went through during the Civil War.

George Washington wasn't fired, but one of his first commands was a massacre.BTKAG97 said:Looks like you have very little military history knowledge. US Generals have been fired throught the existence of the US for making bad decisions.OKCAG02 said:

They say it apparently affected him the rest of his life.

Not so fast my friend. This is not a post to disqualify Pete, I love the pick, but I had a first sergeant get a bronze star for never leaving the wire but once on a convoy he fell asleep during. Lots of first sergeants and CO's were getting bronze stars simply for existing when our OIF II deployment was ending while the Joe's got ARCOMS for doing all the work.

Experience = swamp. Trump got burned by that game in his first term. New game now

But what I've heard from those that have is that from Lt Colonel (or other branch equivalent) officers are increasingly politicians as they are command tacticians and leaders. By the time they've got Stars on their collars or shoulder boards they're full fledge politicians.
If a civilian can be Sec Def so can a Major.
So, what did you get your Bronze Star for?Darth Randy said:4 said:
