“Who the f--k is this guy?’: Defense world reacts to Trump’s surprise Pentagon pick”

Guess they just never watched Fox

Now we got a Fox talking head responsible for our nation’s security. Putin, XI, and little Rocket Man got to be drinking champagne

Fits right in with Trump’s promised Executive Order allowing him to remove Generals and Admirals he doesn’t like, so much for an independent military, least now Trump will get his own Victory Day Parade

Gets more entertaining by the day

The military isn't "independent." It is a very structured hierarchy and the Commander in Chief is the President. Officers serve at his pleasure and it's that way for a reason: You follow orders from the top.

Milley is a great recent example of a general who decided he'd do his own politics with foreign leaders. The last good public example of that was MacArthur, and Truman fired him. Milley doesn't get to make political policy or deal with foreign leaders. He follows orders. That's how it works. He should be fired, and any other generals or admirals who think like he does should be fired with him.

Trump appoints neocon warmonger Pete Hegseth as US Secretary of Defense......it would be hard to imagine a cabinet more inclined toward warmongering and war abroad while scapegoating at home, instead of investing in the United States as most Trump supporters deeply desired. Neither Americans nor the world as a whole is "voting" their way out of American meddling and wars.Only by creating an international system that fully confines US foreign policy (and the interests driving it) - through the defense of international information space, protection from US interference, military deterrence, and economic independence - will peace and stability be obtained from the West for the "Global Rest."
 
MacGregor says that so far it looks like all the picks were piped in by the Zionist Bastards, which means we are going to war with Iran.

If so that will be both catastrophic for America and a betrayal of the American will.

DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH: When I was doing a series for Fox Nation I did an interview while getting tattooed by the only tattoo artist in Bethlehem.I got Yehweh -- Jesus in Hebrew.Also on my forearm I have a Benjamin Franklin, effectively, political cartoon from the 1760s. It's the Join or Die snake.I've got Deus Vult -- God Wills It -- which was the cry of the Crusaders on my bicep.I have a big flag with the AR-15 I carried in Iraq on my bicep.Then on my shoulder I have my unit crest of who I served with in Iraq.My entire pec is a Jerusalem cross. Israel, Christianity and my faith are things I care deeply about.

Serving in harm’s way doesn’t make one qualified to lead the military, there are hundreds of soldiers with that distinction, heading the Pentagon, a multi billion dollar entity, requires organizational skills, unique bureaucratic experience, and a military understanding of the world.

Ike, like all past heads of the military, worked his way up thru the ranks to Brigadier General, and was ready for heading all operations in the European theater in WWII. He didn’t earn his position by being a talking head on a partisan TVshow

So the military is now suppose to be political? Take partisan sides? Or did you naively think Trump picked him because of his extended experience

What, hosting a weekend talk sho, yeah, that’s a comparable skill, not

Correct, one with decades experience in the military leads to how the military works, functions, how the bureaucracy runs, Ike trained for his role progressing thru the ranks, Hegseth never even filled a command position

Taking an army to war ain’t just playing Risk

Poor anchovies,

Perhaps before piping off, do some research on Pete. He is 100 times more qualified than that moonbat heels up choose as her VP running mate.

Actually, I'd say that's a great qualifier. It's bureaucratic "Colonel Blimps" we don't need. These are the sort of social / corporate climbers punching their ticket on the way to retirement at the highest rank they can obtain. Militaries that become bureaucracies first, combat effective second, aren't worth having. That's why the whole Woke, social engineering thing is so anathema to how the military should work. It should be a meritocracy in terms of promotions, not a bureaucracy.

What you miss is that many top peacetime generals and admirals turned out in wartime to be worthless and got fired. They were replaced by less senior officers who showed merit through success. Two I can think of right off that were worthless were Sutherland, MacArthur's COS, and Lloyd Fredenhall, who was responsible for the defeat at Kasserine Pass in N. Africa.

The 32nd Infantry division, (NY national guard) was a particularly bad unit for social and political promotions, and many NG units were like that. They had officers sacked wholesale upon entering combat and doing poorly at first because of shitty leadership. That's WW 2, but nothing has changed and today if the US mobilized for a war, you'd see the same thing, or we get defeated.

Major Hegseth has a long military career and has authored 6 books.

How does the military work? Do you even know?
