Trump picks Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth for defense secretary

[Blaster]

What a good unexpected pick. Pete will do a great job.

 

[Delldude]

That puts him one up on Trump

Something but not much

Cleaning the swamp and not using DC insiders.

 

[M14 Shooter]

The awesomeness of this response cannot be overstated.

 

[Zincwarrior]

What’s his command experience?

What is his political experience? What organizations has he run?
er...none.

 

[Winston]

Iraq vet..................no bone spurs...................

And sucks Trump off. Supremely qualified in Trump's world.

No, Trump should appoint people that have balls enough to tell him he is wrong. He should appoint people that he respects, and I know, that kind of eliminates everyone because the only person he respects is himself. Trump needs people underneath him that have the courage to say "NO". That ain't going to happen. I will give you an example.

So yesterday, I busted ass for twelve hours. Service leadership, I define it. My next level manager comes up to me near the end, said he had been wanting to talk to me all day, but I am a man on a mission, and that is a direct quote from the people around me.

The company has this evaluation thing they do and they contract it out. It is a scoring system, it is a yes or a no. And it is an evaluation of an employee. Apparantly, well, score under 95% three times, the employee is written up. A department score under 95%, the department manager is written up. That is me.

Problem, there are only eight things to evaluate, eight points. You miss one, well you are at an 87.5%. I told him, don't even come to me, or to one of my charges, and attempt to write them up for not being perfect. Totally unacceptable, no one is perfect.

He looked shocked. But then again, he is a little green and new to me. I have a reputation. I tell it like it is, I don't hold back, I don't care if you are a functioning VP. And I will walk out the door in a New York minute. I am in high demand, not the least reason, because I am precisely that way. I deliver results, just stay the hell out of the way.

I am pretty sure the new directive came from the District Manager. She is not worth tits on a boar hog. I told him, I can do math, evidently, she can't. And I give him credit, he said he would work to change that directive now that I laid things out for him. He even attempted to negotiate, what about 85% as the cutoff. I told him that was fine.

I see the VP a couple times a year, and I will on Friday. Every time I see her, it is the same. She takes me aside and we have a conversation, a real conversation. She actively solicits my input and she acts on it. That is leadership, that is not Trump.

Wow!

If any of that were true Trump should nominate you for defense sec

Better yet, resign before he even takes office and let you be president instead

I am in no way qualified to be Secretary of Defense. Chief of staff, well yeah, maybe. But I wouldn't work for that piece of shit no matter what the circumstances. And that is a big part of the problem, anyone actually qualified to be a member of his staff wouldn't accept the position. Do you not see the problem in that?

Thats less than nothing. Come on Man!

This is the only appointment so far that looks utterly messed up.

 

[Winston]

then you aren't qualified to understand the choice made.

Then enlighten me. What qualification does this choice have other than sucking Trump's tiny pecker? What does he bring to the table other than failure?

 

[debbiedowner]

What’s his command experience?

Who knows? A few republican senator's are saying WHO and questioning this decision.

 

[jc456]

like all those people creepy put into offices that couldn't tell his cognitive abilities weren't there? Those types? hahahahahhaha go after your own before you go after anyone else, schmuck

 

[jc456]

who knows, it isn't my responsibility. Is it yours? who's is it? Did you get elected? what the fk is up your demofk ass that you can't just parse through a day without hissy fits about trump every hour?

 

[debbiedowner]

A former national guard major is now Sec Def

Brilliant.

Oh, he has command experience. You remember those pictures of detainees at Gitmo being subject to abuse? He was a platoon leader, probably the 84th Troop Command but I need to do more research. He was an infantry platoon leader in Iraq where he did see action. He became a captain in 2012 and went to Afghanistan where he was a senior counter insurgency trainer. How did that turn out? NOT SO GOOD.

He has no senior military or national security experience. I really don't know if he could qualify for an even midlevel security clearance, but apparently, Trump is going to hand those things out without an FBI review. Quite frightening.

The man is a disgusting, racist, pig. He is 96.4% Scandanavian, who even brags about something like that? While married and working at Fox he had an affair with his producer and they had a baby. Had he done that in the military he would have been court-martialed and spent some time in the brig. At FOX, well it is SOP.

I mean I knew, and I warned you all, this administration is going to be a total shit show. I just didn't think it would happen this fast.

Well, hell you know that being married and having an affair that involved a baby definitely qualifies him in the eyes of a maga.

it is? based on what? your opinion? fk off loser.
