Of course dcum doesn’t like him, he works for a living.

I will take a grunt over 10,000 4 star generals any day of the week.

He went to Princeton and Harvard. A real man of the people.

I was worried he would hire more competent people this time around who would be able to implement his idiotic ideas. I’m starting to feel better that he didn’t learn and is just hiring a new set of clowns.

Generals are perfumed princes. They are basically politicians. That’s it .

It's the Secretary of defense. If it's always a general or other top rank in that position, maybe it's important to have a skilled politician that also achieved a top rank in that role.

Well, I am a vet who would rather be led by the guy with a CIB. Period.

Literally, you are likely more qualified than this guy.

What’s your military experience?

DP. Just out of curiosity, I looked up some former Sec. Defs. Here are the ones who were appointed by Democratic presidents:

Ashton B. Carter
Barack Obama Administration: ZERO military experience

Chuck Hagel
Barack Obama Administration: fought in Vietnam as enlisted, left as Sergeant (which I believe is lower than Major?)

Leon E. Panetta
Barack Obama Administration: ZERO military experience, unless you count two years as a young Army intel officer

Robert M. Gates
George W. Bush / Barack Obama Administration: left Air Force as 2nd Lieutenant (lower than Major, correct?)

William S. Cohen
William Clinton Administration: ZERO military experience

Leslie Aspin
William Clinton Administration: ZERO military experience

The point isn't to diminish the wealth of *other* experience all of these men had, but simply to point out that having military experience is NOT a criterion for the job.

Thank you for this research!

What in Pete’s military career says clown to you?

What was your military career like, as you have the knowledge and experience to judge Pete as a clown?

Right? Since when does MAGA think Ivy League officers are grunts?

Do you understand that so far, no one being appointed to these positions have anything close to the requisite experience needed administer the job?

I think Rubio does. But he is the only one.

Yeah, I am honestly pretty good with Rubio as SecState.

DP but it’s not his military service, it’s the rest of his resume.

Completely lacks the executive experience needed for this role (that's actually an understatement).

He just said on a podcast that women should not be in combat.

He's far more than a grunt, but never made the "political" transition to rise above the rank of major. That said, he isn't a babe in the woods when it comes to civilian politics, having covered that in his stint at FOX. Yes, that's one of the reasons Trump nominated him, but it's not the only one. It seems like Trump is tired of the career politicians with token military service serving as SECDEF. He wants someone who will execute his agenda for the DoD - not someone who has their own agenda and is looking to sit on corporate boards for big $$$ after a few years.

Also, not enough "South Americans" are enlisting.
