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

Platoon leader to Sec of Def.? Sure. You guys are funny
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 Against Warriors. That's the reason he was selected.
He'll do fine.
I know what will be included in my next few book purchases. Thanks, man. (Gotta start off with Propaganda Wars by Glenn Beck, of course.)

I made a mistake. It's The War On Warriors.

Koch mouth pieces. If the military is so “woke”, why do the vote Republican?
Quote: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.
In 2012, he helped found a political action committee, MN PAC, which was noted for spending one-third of its $15,000 in funds on Christmas parties for families and friends.
From 2012 to 2015, Hegseth was CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, an advocacy group funded by the Koch brothers’ network; among its top priorities was privatizing Veterans Administration health care.
But sure that qualifies him to run the $800 billion DoD with its 1.3 million active-duty troops and another 1.4 million in the National Guard, Reserves and civilian employees based worldwide.

RE: Trump nominates Fox News host, veteran Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense
Again, it ain't the rank and file who are "woke". It's the higher ups and those who are in the DOD. But yeah, I'm a Koch mouthpiece. I don't remember receiving any money from the Koch brothers. (That's because I've never gotten any. Otherwise, I'd have a record of it.)
My God, X. How ridiculous does your pretzel logic have to be before you open your eyes and see that you've been had? The media gaslit you, too, man.
And anybody can hold any political office or any Cabinet position at any time. I mean look at AOC, a woman who's dumber than a box of rocks and yet she's a Congresswoman. So if she, a bartender, can become a Congresswoman, Hegseth, a highly-decorated combat vet who has a better understanding of the armed forces than we do, is more than qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.
But hey, I'm just one guy so what do I know?

Yeah, your boys Milley and Austin have been such shining lights in a sea of darkness. Afghanistan withdrawal, case in point. These CUCKS deserve nothing but scorn, and their incompetence led to our soldiers being killed (and innocent civilians).
You want to ride this ride, go right ahead, but this pair of CUCKS are a large symptom of the DoD failures in recent years, and change is needed.

RE: Trump nominates Fox News host, veteran Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense
The top is the problem. The 3 and 4-star generals ramming DEI and CRT down the DoD's throat, and worrying more about that crap than about being war ready.
It's not a hard issue to rectify. Declare those programs dead, ID the culprits and force them to retire. Job done on the management front.
Then it's a matter of rebuilding the fighting capability.

Yeah...I'm sure there's no better candidate. Wet fart noise.
Kinda what a lot of people said about JD Vance----and look how that turned out....and lets not forget that the person you wanted selecting a Cabinet right now was Harris----who picked Waltz as her VP......talk about wet fart noises.....time for for you to go sit in a corner with the dunce cap on for while.
If you are trying to assert that either VP choice swung the last election, you're not that bright.

at the least (just due to spite and nonsense) both picks yielded 0.5 points in +/- turnout .... but keep being, ewe, brah ... ewe're a fk'n gem, son....

Well he didn’t get the job for the reason the last disaster did. If that nothingburger can do the job (poorly I might add) then I’m sure Hegspeth
can. And I’m sure Trump will not call him “the guy that runs that outfit over there” as Biden did.

At least he's a man and knows he's a man, unlike the two above that I posted, who have serious mental illness. But hey, this is the kind of crap I expect from someone who tried to call a sitting Senator and Vice Presidential running mate (now Vice President-elect) who also happened to be a former Marine that was actually deployed in a war zone "weird." If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is.
Seriously, Tom, just take the L, lick your wounds, move closer to the center, and move on.
