Oh, I don't know...maybe because he doesn't know the first thing about running a department with a budget and labor force of that magnitude. What could go wrong?
Huh - I didn't know he was going to run that entire show all by himself. I would think that would be fairly daunting for anyone regardless of experience - no?
Well, are the two BOBbleheads going to cut like half the work force under him?
But no, they don't run it all themselves, but they do need leadership qualities to run such an operation. Does this guy have any? Seems his current gag is weekend talk show host.
Better than the dillweed we've got running the DOD now. (But, of course, I could say that about the entire administration. So I will. lol)

What exactly does "leadership qualities" entail? The man was a officer in the military and was an infantry platoon leader in combat---as in real life or death situations. Granted, he would have only commanded about 40 men at most, but he would have commanded in difficult high pressure conditions where the cost of bad decisions are deadly and instantaneous. I suspect his leadership skills will be more than adequate.

Kroger is going to make a cashier the CEO because they served honorably the days before holidays and snowstorms.

Wasn't the current Sec Def in the hospital for a week and no one missed him?

No, he's more like a department head at a grocery store being made Vice President of Store Operations. But hey...

Unhappy? Nah, not by a long shot. If he does well then it is a win for all of us. If he does badly then voter remorse is going to skyrocket. Two party system and fickle voters. Love it.

You have no imagination, and no understanding of the primary mission.
Anybody can be Sec Defense. It's an office job. You just have to know how to manage and motivate people. You also have to be bright, and not afraid to make unpopular decisions.
It also helps if you understand the workings of the military. The dude's knowledge goes WAY beyond being a platoon leader. He has been an advocate for military rights for decades.
Read his book, The War On Warriors. That's the reason he was selected.
He'll do fine.
