Congress grills Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth defended himself diligently in the Senate hearings this morning.

My personal concern remains that being a Fox news personality and a former commander of a HQs and Headquarters Company is not sufficient experience to qualifying a nominee to be confirmed as Secretary of Defense.

It was no grilling, it was just a character smear.
He's as qualified if not more qualified than most.

Who is he more qualified than? He has very little administrative experience and no government administrative experience.

"Grilling"? How so? Every one of Trump's senate toadies left the hearing with the stink of Petey's ass on their breath.

They're so craven that they spent the day groveling in front of Petey who a few weeks back was nothing but a Fox booze hound. Talf about pathetic.

Not a major with company grade experience.

I would like to see a former Division or Corps commander, or an experienced multi-command individual.

Well let’s see one step up and lobby for the position.

The most glaring hypocrisy is Dems not asking a million times how Mayor Pete was qualified to be Trans Sec. I guess gays know trans?

Here is commentary on his background.

Peter Hegseth has a notable military background, primarily serving as an Army infantry officer. He also served in the Army National Guard. However, his command experience has been a point of contention during his recent confirmation hearing for the position of Secretary of Defense1.

Hegseth has faced scrutiny over his leadership experience, particularly his roles managing veterans service organizations rather than direct military command. He was the executive director of Vets For Freedom from 2007 to 2010 and later the CEO of Concerned Veterans for America from 2012 to 2015. Critics argue that these roles do not adequately prepare him for the complexities of leading the Department of Defense1.

During his confirmation hearing, Democratic senators raised concerns about his financial management skills and questioned whether his experience with veterans organizations was sufficient for the role. Despite these concerns, some Republicans have supported his nomination, highlighting his combat experience and his vision for the military2.
