Congress grills Pete Hegseth

[Marener]

that is a good thing

I always figured you’d want someone who knew what they were doing in these kinds of jobs.

I guess you disagree.

 

[Nostra]

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

What qualification does he not meet Marener ?

 

[Dismantle this Country]

Homo libs don't like him because he's a Christian and he rightly says women should not be in combat. These milktoasts are the same guys you see in the passenger seat while their wives and GFs are behind the wheel.

 

[Rawley]

In case you missed it, this is a good thing.

 

[Robert W]

I truly like Scott Jennings and his way of honest reporting. Question is? How the hell did CNN hire him given they waste time lying about the news?

CNN is bleeding viewership. Jennings may be the first of many there if CNN can continue.

You are illiterate in these areas. I knew homosexuals in the military who did their duties exceptionally well, as good as the average soldier. I knew female soldiers I would go to combat without hesitation. I knew some very Christian soldiers whom I liked but would not trust my life in their care.

Not it is not. That is a Boebert/Greene level statement.

 

[theHawk]

"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.

^^ Poor TDS lunatic.

It’s going to be a LONG four years for you.

[Rawley]

Not it is not. That is a Boebert/Greene level statement.

Staffing administrations from within the swamp, particularly the MIC swamp is what got us into this current mess. Things are going to change in Washington.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

like the one that was SOD during the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster ,and the invasion of Ukraine ?

Somebody much more experienced than Hegseth, yes.

Your 'whataboutism' is nothing but a sucking sound from the know nothings.

That is your unsupported opinion, worthless in and of itself.

 

[justoffal]

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

He's a Trump nominee and the Dems are at war.
All totally expected. You could put a 40 year five star General with combat experience and a PHD in economics in front of them and they would do exactly the same thing.

 

[Marener]

In case you missed it, this is a good thing.

So much for meritocracy and high standards.

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.

13 hours ago · Pete Hegseth is set to take the hot seat before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday in a hearing that is sure to break out into fireworks. President-elect Donald Trump nominated Hegseth ...

Hegseth got to command as a captain a HQ and HQ company. I was the company clerk for a Captain that commanded our HQ and HQ company, 1st BT. 30th Infantry in Germany. My captain was from OCS and he told me he had also been a Company Clerk serving then in the Korean War. He really ensured all of my work was top rate. I always to top rated work so I was not one of his problems. Hegseth was a Colonel. Those command Battalions of around 2000 men.

Democrats were downright rude, but Pete wiped the floor with them with his articulate, intelligent, professional, and creative responses.

I was incredibly impressed with Hegseth today. He seems made for the job. He'll be so much better at Secretary of Defense than he is co-hosting Fox & Friends Weekend, which I have watched for years.

CNN says he kicked their butts...



Here is the Code Pink interruptions of his opening statement which is mentioned.

 

[Robert W]

So much for meritocracy and high standards.

That vanished with Lloyd Austin.

 

[Rawley]

So much for meritocracy and high standards.

Why do you believe administrative skills imply meritocracy and high standards.

 

[Marener]

That vanished with Lloyd Austin.

Huh? Lloyd Austin had accomplished far more before becoming Secretary of Defense. As much as you guys love talking about Pete’s bronze stars, Austin had earned a silver star.
