[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get he wants to own the libs but can we not play around with national security? There isn’t a single republican general around to take this job?[/quote]

Generals are perfumed princes. They are basically politicians. That’s it .[/quote]

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.[/quote]

This. You need someone with political skill in that role because it's highly political and he has to hold his own with the President and politicians in Congress.

For the record, Trump appointed Hegseth for two reasons: he will be loyal to Trump and he "looks the part" (according to Trump). This is not some effort to upend tradition by putting a rank and file officer in the role. This is not a principled choice. It's idiotic.[/quote]

Idiocy is the point, no? Trump wants his lackeys and he will get them. But so it goes. This is what America wants. [/quote]
