Doesn't know what he's doing......
HEGSETH: "You've got to fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and obviously, to bring in a new Secretary of Defense, but any General that was involved, General, Admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI woke sh*t has got to go.""Either you're in for war fighting and that's it. That's the only litmus test we care about. You got to get DEI and CRT out of military academies. You're not training young officers to be baptized in this type of thinking. And then, you know, whatever the standards, whatever the combat standards were, say, and, I don't know, 1995, let's just make those the standards. And as far as recruiting to hire the guy that, you know, did Top Gun Maverick and create some real ads that motivate people to want to serve."

I can see the nomination getting pulled. Trump is an infamous germaphobe.

Military vet says Guantanamo Bay prison should not close
Military veteran Pete Hegseth says the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the U.S. military prison camp holding extremely dangerous people, should not be closed. Hegseth, a native of Minnesota, has been on the inside at Guantanamo Bay, often referred to as Guantanamo or Gitmo. While in the military...

He was a guard at Guantanamo Bay in 2004 and 2005.
Now to be SecDef.....................
Trump hitting them so fast with nominations, they hardly have time to respond.
Latest on the New Improved DOD:
WASHINGTON—The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals of any deemed unfit for leadership.
If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” according to a draft of the order reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.
As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.
______________________
The president-elect previewed the move during a campaign event in October, telling an audience that he would create a task force to monitor the “woke generals” and get rid of diversity training in the military.
“They’re gone,” Trump said of those generals, without naming specific officers.

I've listened to an interview with Pete and he seems to understand clearly the threat that China poses and the desperate need to prepare the military for a future war, not the last war.
This will anger the War Hawks and M.I.C as he probably will focus on a military that relies on speed. Less expensive, better performing A.I for drones, building a military specifically to confront China (as China is developing their military specifically to defeat the U.S and it's Asian allies).
People better wake up, because War Games have not gone well for the West in these scenarios against China.
I say to give the man a chance. He has served 20 years ffs with two bronze stars. Smart enough to get degrees from prestigious universities.

Yup And the majority of Americans wanted him back. LOL
I love how the pseudo left supports the military until a non card carrying member of DC comes through the door.
Exactly what they did to Trump in His first term.
