Exactly. But they say we aren't qualified. Wow, but Pete is?

Civilians don’t have ranks. The secretary of defense is a civilian position.

He would be overseeing many levels of service members who were better at being a military officer than he was.

Chuck Hagel was an enlisted man in earlier years.

True patriots, the non MAGAs who professionally serve the defend the constitution will stay and fight for America against this fascism. Our country fought a war over it once already and won, true patriots in uniform will not let it happen to us now.

There is no fascism. Next

f off, facist

According to the affidavit, during the marriage, Samantha Hegseth developed and executed plans with members of Hegseth’s family and mutual friends to help her escape “if she felt she needed to get away from Hegseth.”

One individual with indirect knowledge of Samantha Hegseth’s alleged escape plans had previously told committee staffers about them, according to three sources familiar with the conversations. NBC News has also spoken with two other sources who had been aware of these plans before the committee staffers heard about them.

These plans included what Danielle Hegseth refers to in the affidavit as a “safe word/code word” that Samantha could text her to let friends and family know that Pete Hegseth was in a potentially dangerous and volatile state at home and that Samantha needed help.

In the affidavit, Danielle Hegseth also says that one time “sometime in 2015-2016,” Samantha did text her one of these words and activated the escape plan.

Danielle Hegseth also alleges in the affidavit that Samantha told her that on one occasion Samantha had “hid in her closet from Hegseth because she feared for her personal safety.”

Samantha Hegseth's response:

In an email response Monday, Samantha Hegseth said: “First and foremost, I have not and will not comment on my marriage to Pete Hegseth. I do not have representatives speaking on my behalf, nor have I ever asked anyone to share or speak about the details of my marriage on my behalf, whether it be a reporter, a committee member, a transition team member, etc.”

She added, “I do not believe your information to be accurate, and I have cc’d my lawyer.”

Asked what information was not accurate and for comment on the affidavit, she replied on Tuesday: “There was no physical abuse in my marriage. This is the only further statement I will make to you, I have let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete. Please respect this decision.”

3 kids. I wouldn't go on record to make a statement either. As a divorced mom I would want my kids to maintain a relationship with their father, even if he was a douchebag.

If you think OER stands for Officer Efficiency Reports, you have never been an officer in the military.

Never said I have been. DH is 30 year--told me the name changed to Officer Evaluation Report.

The principal is the same. If the "goal" is to have a certain percentage, and an officer does not meet the "goal," he can be dinged. If you have served in the military, you know that you want to meet the goals of your commanding officer.
When the now Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has said that his goal was specific percentages of personnel of certain race and gender, you can be sure you must be showing growth in the desired percentages if you want a good report.

Just like OER changing from Officer Efficiency Report to Officer Evaluation Report--it serves the same purpose. The only thing that is different is the semantics.

Haha I bet you were one of those mil wives that demanded a salute from the gate guards

Oh, look, our resident military wife misogynist is here. That tale is urban legend older than you are.

The NBC News reporters have been facing threats and intimidation trying to report this. Just imagine what the SIL and ex-wife will face.

Stop it. She said it was not true and also said she was not authorizing anyone to speak for her.

To be clear Danielle Dietrich was formerly married to Pete Hegseth’s brother and had a bitter divorce. She is an avowed Trump hater and has admitted she never personally witnessed any abuse. Sad that this is somehow omitted from most media. Now hopefully some clarification on why Samantha Hegseth is coming forward to reaffirm this is not true and she has not authorized anyone to speak for her. Shame what this woman (Danielle Dietrich ) will do for politics ). Someone needs to remind the senators who are talking about this and omitting the relevant facts.

Public servants are held to a high standard for a reason.

Plenty of potential nominees that actually don’t have any baggage and are qualified.

Trump is gaslighting the senate to see how much they’ll swallow. Quite a bit it turns out.

Divorce rate is 50 percent and 70 percent for military. Fact of life as are bitter sister in laws. It is a yawn. Shame on anyone reporting this as fact and ignore the actual facts. FYI most people are tired of the cancel culture. Move on.

The expectations for a staff Sargent and a general, secretary, or Chief of Staff position are not the same.
