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'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.

Someone to "execute" with no executive experience?

It's just so painfully obvious. He has no executive experience. He's a Fox News weekend host. This isn't the job to get that executive experience. He has no chance of being effective.

He has no in-depth knowledge and no pre-concieved notions. He's pliable, will follow orders and fall on his sword if needed. He's not there to manage the military. He's there to manage public perception.

So then who is going to be managing the military? The rank and file deep staters?

The Deputy Defense Secretaries still to come. He has no entourage or loyalists of his own and will not have a role in selecting them. His job is just to present the news.

He's not a press secretary. Stop bending yourself into pretzels trying to justify this pick.

It's amazing how you're twisting yourself into a pretzel to deflect from the obvious - the guy has no credibility with the military to be in a leadership position of this type. He likely has no allies with influence inside the Pentagon, hence, getting things done will be a huge challenge. There are only two logical conclusions to be drawn: 1) he's going to fail spectacularly, if he's confirmed, or 2) he's a figurehead and there are others with rank, power, and influence that will really be running things. And those folks would never make it through Senate confirmation.

The military cares...

Yep. He wouldn’t even get squadron command. Not with an affair.

So how did he then?

I don’t care if he’s Christian, but I do think that 7 children by three marriages and a cheating history speaks to a lack of character and integrity. And likely to his immaturity and inability to control himself.

His body, his choice.

But didn't he have these affairs and divorces while in the military?

You can have divorces and affairs. You just aren’t going to be selected for a leadership position if you’ve had an affair. Conduct unbecoming.

I haven’t looked at his bio and divorce paperwork and won’t waste my time, but I highly doubt he had any leadership position after the affair.

He has 7 children with 3 women, including with a Fox producer while he was married to another woman. Oopsies like that are very much career enders in the military. But here we are. The new SecDef.

He's gross. He doesn't wash his hands - he probably smells like ass.

Trump has admitted he has a huge boner for Hedgseth. If it weren’t so serious a post it would be funny.

For someone as physically unappealing, well repulsive really, as Trump it’s funny as hell how obsessed he is with good looking men.

He is also obsessed with women getting plastic surgery. Weird he never had a chin implant himself considering how weak his chin is. His mouth is so tiny and round. Dude is ugly af.

So gross. I see so much grossness. I will probably need more shirtless pictures truly evaluate his grossness, though.
