Trump’s replacement for four-star General Lloyd Austin: 44-year-old ‘anti-woke’ veteran and former FOX host Pete Hegseth
Hegseth, a staunch opponent of DEI initiatives and former guard at Guantanamo Bay, has less leadership experience than current Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and critics have called him “unqualified.”

America’s next secretary of defense could be starkly different from what the country has ever seen before.
Hegseth will succeed Secretary-General Lloyd Austin III, the nation’s first Black Secretary of Defense, a historic choice made by President Joe Biden in 2021.
Austin, 71, is a four-star general with 41 years of service in the Army. He earned a Silver Star for his leadership in the Iraq War and later oversaw all combat operations in Iraq as commanding general of United States Forces, as well as military operations in Afghanistan in the 2010s.

Bakari Sellers, CNN political analyst, echoed the concerns of many Americans regarding Trump’s recent cabinet picks, but particularly Hegseth.
“People argue about DEI and lack of qualifications, then rave about Pete Hegseth being placed over the most powerful military in the world,” Sellers tweeted. “Watching mediocrity being rewarded is the hallmark of the Trump Administration.”
The Department of Defense oversees a budget of approximately $842 billion, according to the department’s website.

Commentary:
Notably. General Austin was the apple of Obama's eye, for his job in the primary troo[ reduction and retreat from Afghanistan and was partial to the Officer purge by Obama that advanced him.
Then again those who have previously held the position as Secretary of Defense did not necessarily have the "Experience" has Democrats and naysayers are complaining about Trump's choice.
Take for example the following:
Robert A. Lovett, Charles E. Wilson, Neil H. McElroy, Robert S. McNamara, James R. Schlesinger, Robert Rumsfeld, Caspar W. Weinberger, Richard Cheney, and Ashton Carter.
None of the above persons had previous experience as Secretary of Defense, working with the troops, logistics etc. they were all appointees of elected presidents chosen for political reasons.
I suggest to you that Pete Hegseth has just as good qualifications as any previous appointed Secretary of Defense.

Seems they've all been ordered to chant "unqualified" but can't really come up with any rations reasons. Seems the only one that comes close is that he's never headed a large government bureaucracy. That misses the whole point of this last election.

You clowns are missing an excellent hit piece on Hegseth on WAPO.
Which excludes the lying scumbags in the Democratic party "leadership". Including the alcoholic shrew who shoved Harris down your throat.
Go tell your "leadership".
Better yet, just show them the door
1% inflation, zero wars, and Abraham accords.
What did Biden bring to the table? Cross dressing clothing thieves.
Winning, and your post shows that. Bankruptcies while He was in office? Did Trump use existing BK laws, created in bipartisan congress, to His advantage?
Isn't that exactly how Pelosi and Schumer get a 100% dem vote on everything?
Mainly due to your media sources have crashed and burned with the voting public.
You show up a week before the election..................LOL..........dem stooge. Looks like you lost big time, clownman.............
They on the wait staff.
Where did those black jobs go to?

Trump picks Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth for defense secretary
In his announcement, Trump called Hegseth “tough, smart and a true believer in America First.”www.nbcnews.com
President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and military veteran, as his pick for defense secretary.
In a statement, Trump described Hegseth as "tough, smart and a true believer in America First."
"With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice — Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down," Trump said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., applauded Trump’s selection, calling Hegseth a “great choice.”
“Pete brings a lot to the table. He’s got experience, and I think he’ll be reform-minded in the areas that need reform. So I’m excited about the pick,” Johnson told reporters on Capitol Hill, without elaborating on what programs he thinks need changing.

Let Pete answer for himself...
Trump Taps Fox News Host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense | National Review
Before joining Fox in 2014, Hegseth served as an Army National Guard Captain in Iraq and Afghanistan.www.nationalreview.com
Just think, that if Kamala elected the alternative would have been General Milley Vanilli.
Personally, I like the choice, Hegseth has no stone to grind. os a retired major and has been in the trenches. He didn't need to have his card punched.
I'm sure that people like former retirees like Gen. Keane,
Col. McGregor and others....
Maybe, thy could ask Bukeke for a favor.
Full court press to protect the sacred military industrial complex and their love affair with DOD?
