You agree with everyone else. Because these pilots are in training. They are not in charge of anything without the required experience. |
The stupidity knows no bounds. Do you understand the difference between flying a single plane and taking directions to giving directions as head of a department that literally risks American lives? There are mandatory flying hours, there are no hours of training this child has done. |
This Fugate kid didn't "launch" - he was installed. He is abysmally inexperienced and unqualified, unlike the fighter pilot example. A USAF fighter pilot would typically go through USAFA, ROTC or Officer Training, would have a bachelor's degree, and be commissioned. They would need 1 year of undergraduate pilot training in a T-6 and T-38, 2 month fighter fundamentals training, 9 month F-16 course and qualification, minimum 70 flight hours, 59 sorties, 245 academic hours and simulator training. Then 6-12 months combat readiness training. Along with meeting a bunch of other qualifications and requirements. This Fugate kid has nothing, just an undergrad degree and some summer job type stuff. |
This kid's predecessor was an Army veteran with more than two decades of national security experience. Meanwhile Fugate's recent jobs include gardener and grocery store clerk. |
I really can’t tell if you are over estimating the capabilities of 22 yos or under estimating the requirements of this job. I have met lots of highly capable 22 yos but none of them would consider themselves capable of managing an anti-terrorism agency. |
I've met some really talented 22 year olds, but to suggest that they are ready to run a major program is ridiculous. |
There is a reason why Silicon Valley venture capitalists require 18-25 year old whiz kids to hire adults with real experience as CEO when they go public. See, for example, Eric Schmidt and Google. |
You know nothing about becoming a fighter pilot. Just stop. You should be happy you said this stupidity on an anonymous forum and not in person; thereby, confirming to people your stupidity. |
He was General secretary of his college model UN team so u checked with a college kid on a competitive model UN team and apparently his college UN team didn’t even compete. He probably wasn’t even a good gardener/grocery clerk. This kid is all hat, no horse. And even the hat is probably an Amazon order synthetic imitation hat. |
And I haven't even seen any evidence of this kid even being any kind of a whiz kid at all. But then again Trump also thought Jared Kushner was a whiz kid who could do anything (even though he couldn't) |
