Congress grills Pete Hegseth

[White 6]

I was adding to your discussion of loyalty. I have no clue why you mention loyalty.

You responded to post #519. No mention of loyalty mentioned.

Oh, sorry. I thought you had some pertinent point as to Hegseth's qualifications, but were just getting lost in the weeds, again. In hiring, I cheat and actually compare qualifications, as was never hiring based on political likes. I figured, somebody needed to actually do the job effectively. As a political tool, he would be fine, as long as nothing comes up, the military actually has to do. I am sure he vocally supports everything, without consideration, Trump thinks or is told, true, logical or not.

This post by you White 6 provoked me to also discuss loyalty. See your post #517

Shall we try again? Talk about getting lost in the weeds, you're entirely smothered in them.


What experience did Panetta have to run that 448 person organization with an annual budget of 141 million?

Oh, did not realize you did not know what you were responding to. Miss you Adderall, this morning? Easily provoked with short attention span?
In response, with his actual qualifications, it would appear, that is his chief attribute, definitely not his experience and expertise in large organizational management, or high level military experience.

Years of experience dealing and voting on military budgets, chairman of the Budget committee, vice chairman of Vietnam Veterans caucus. Those are a few. What as Hegseth ever done?

It is not about me White 6. It is about the remarks made by ... well by you. If you confused me, that is not my fault.
The job of Defense Secretary has been held by civilians pretty often in the history of this nation. If you appoint a person to a job, would you expect them to be bad at the job by targeting you? So one can't expect the appointments of either Biden or Trump to target the president. All over industry, such as the Coca Cola plants, how many CEOs bottled that drink?

Obama never was qualified to be more than an author of books. And he was a beginner in the Senate.

Elected with large majorities and confirmed in electoral college by joint session of Congress. I am not sure what you are looking for or what it has to do with the hearings in the Senate of Presidential appointments. Did you have a point?

The President has the right to Nominate his choices to cabinet and for them to be approved. The fact is you and the democrats have nothing of any real problem with this choice other than an attempt to stop Trump from getting his choice in.

True, if worth a crap for the position. If he wanted the posts filled with teenagers on a whim, would you support that, simply because they voted for him?

Teen might be smart as ****. Sooo

LMAO

I thought it was funny when Hegseth the drunken buttsniffer kept calling the allegations anonymous and made up by the media, then had to be reminded they were not anonymous.

Who made the allegations? If you can't name them, they were anonymous, right?

Laying down for Putin isn’t something I’d see as competent. Not standing up to dictators is the quickest way to WWIII. Incompetence would be abandoning Ukraine.

Thank goodness nobody's doing that.

I seriously don't think Trump has or is going to appoint him to the cabinet. How does it relate to the topic "Congress grills Pete Hegseth"?

That has not happened. Trump wants more than a military past in the Secretary of Defense. As a former Army officer, Hegseth understands the military. But his job is as a civilian, not a General.

If the sht hits the fan, I would prefer experience, not understanding, if he actually does, at that level of military career.
