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.

The military cares...

Yes men. Yes men, everywhere.

But a 4 star general would not be a yes man surrounded by yes men, is that your theory?

lmao

My theory is Pete Hedseth is a Fox News weekend tv host and you think he’s qualified to be secretary of defense. My theory is uneducated population = kakistocraxy.

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.

I don’t think he is. I read he left in 2021 and was a LTC

Three years is still not enough. Neither is Lt Col.

The number or years in service and rank are not a qualification alone. As pointed out above there have been several SoDs that have not served at all in the military or under 3 years. I don’t specifically know much about this guy, just pointing out that it isn’t the only consideration
