I guess he is qualified. Some here didn’t even think he would get to the hearings.

'That's 50': With This Senator's Announcement, Hegseth Picks Up Enough Votes for Confirmation

"Qualified" is difficult to say. Few people have ever run an organization of that magnitude, and we hope that he can select a team of competent underlings to carry out his vision for the Department of Defense.

The issues are HUGE, and from what I saw, very few of them were explored during the hearings, with most Senators looking for sound bites that would get news coverage rather than going into what has to be done and how PH intends to do it.

The loss of a manufacturing base in the U.S., as compared to what it was during, say, WWII is extremely alarming. If we had to mobilize for war, it would be a total shit show.

They have microphones.

What a way to show that women should be in front line combat.

One woman asking about his background with Audits said from the beginning she was not going to vote for him…so why did she even ask anything?

It's about time. Doing one's job shouldn't be that complicated.

 

[Blaster]

Pete is a huge upgrade over the current Secretary of Defense.

It's gonna be a train wreck, just like the last time.

The Combat Arms (Infantry, Artillery, Armor) is where the Rank and the Promotions are. Why not? It's also where the risk is. An Infantryman is more likely to be hurt than a Finance Clerk.

As long as we fight 'Hollywood Wars' where everybody is well-fed, we have overwhelming superiority and our Soldiers are whisked in and out of combat zones lickity-split, because we have Air Supremacy (A fighter jet catching a bunch of choppers in the open would be like a Lion in a Chicken Coop) and they all get to spend time in the Gym and in the rear with the beer and Movie Nights...... Everybody wants that. Everybody wants to be a hero.

But if we ever get into another major Ground War where our soldiers are all but abandoned in the field, hardly ever see a hot meal, live and sleep in the cold, the rain, the snow, the heat, the jungle or the Polar North.

Where soldiers look more like scarecrows that they do like The Rock or Arnie or Rambo...... Which is what REAL soldiers in REAL Wars look like. Scarecrows. Where you don't take a solid shit for Months, where you're wet and cold or wet and hot 24/7/365 (Or at least for many weeks/months at a time), where you have to take charcoal and mint pills every day to keep from crapping yourself so bad, you dehydrate and die, and where your quarters are a tent thrown up on a mud floor (if you're lucky).... Where Hot Food is when you steal some C-4 from a Claymore to heat your Rations in a Canteen Cup

That's REAL Combat, boys and girls. Not the Hollywood version.

Not only will women not survive those conditions, I personally don't want them in those conditions.

In Pretend Wars in a Pretend Army?

Sure, why not

 

[MisterBeale]

They did last time.

By what measure?

 

[Crepitus]

By what measure?

Pretty much all of them. Millon jobs lost, economy in the tank foreign relations a shambles, half of government posts left vacant... Just pick one.

Move on, they aren't gonna hurt you.

We should do what the Italian army does. Fight for an hour or so then go home and eat spaghetti.

No they won't. They are history, and America is going to return to normal.

 

[MisterBeale]

Millon jobs lost, economy in the tank

. . . and a democrat president would have avoided COVID, is that what you are saying?

foreign relations a shambles

The last election clearly shows, most folks feel that you are in a minority in this opinion.


Peace breaking out all over the Middle East, diplomacy instead of war with Russia was the norm, etc.

half of government posts left vacant

Some of us feel that the less government the better, so how is this a bad thing?

Added to that, any position that he wanted to fill but remained vacant? That criticism lays on the shoulders of the Senate.

. . . but then, most of this forum is clear that you do not understand how government works.

Or change sides
