Someone not afraid to put down dogs......the libs are going to go nuts over this one....

She's to ditzy for my tastes, a recommendation from Corey Lewandowski probably went a long way on this choice. As long as she keeps outta the way of Trump's new Border Control choice I can live with it. She's likely loyal and good at not wasting resources.

If she was named the new HHS Head or Asst, ....

That compare and contrast would be meme fodder which would likely kill a few lefty libs

Not going to happen. Big business loves suppressing wages and h1b tech workers aren't really a high visibility group. You think elon Musk who relies on a huge amount of tech workers (tesla, x, spacex) is going to want that? No. Musk gave Trump about 130 million dollars, he's going to get what he wants.

That's why Trump is just another politician in my eyes. The names of who benefit might be different, but he does the exact same thing as the other politicians.

So don't vote for POTUS Trump. It's that simple.

Seriously, enough about Israel and The Ukraine. Israel has enough of their own to survive. No more active support of other nations until the United States is fixed.

Focus, 100% upon our nation and our nation only.

SpaceX can't employ anyone who isn't at least a permanent resident because of ITAR restrictions.
And the sorts that Tesla is employing are I'm such high demand that nobody is losing their job to someone on an H1B.

Honestly, I think the H1B thing is overblown. If you're a tech worker being outsourced, it's probably to a guy who *lives* in India, not an immigrant.

Once they get here they need to be paid pretty well. If you're trying to cheap out you keep them in India.

I hope he succeeds as this is one of the most important roles to fill in my opinion

But when you compare him to Austin as an example - and I am not saying he is fantastic!!!!………….but at least he has come through the process - 4 star general and held numerous significant command positions globally

Sorry, I just don’t see this one at this point in time

Just my humble opinion and hope to be proven wrong

Military career

Following graduation from Princeton in 2003, Hegseth joined Bear Stearns as an equity capital markets analyst and was also commissioned as a infantry officer into the U.S. Army National Guard.[10] In 2004 his unit was called to Guantánamo Bay, where he served as an infantry platoon leader with the Minnesota National Guard. His unit was under the operational control of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne Division. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. Shortly after returning from Cuba, Hegseth volunteered to serve in Baghdad and Samarra, where he held the position of infantry platoon leader and, later in Samarra, as civil–military operations officer. During his time in Iraq, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, and a second Army Commendation Medal.[11]

He returned to active duty in 2012 as a captain. He was deployed to Afghanistan with the Minnesota Army National Guard and acted as a senior counterinsurgency instructor at the Counterinsurgency Training Center in Kabul. Hegseth, a major, currently serves in the Individual Ready Re

Not arguing.... Of the 21 men who have been appointed Secretary of Defense over the last 64 years, only 15 have even served. Some were very good, others were not. Time will tell.


Decent breakdown....

Nope not arguing at all - like everyone on here, just expressing some opinions or concerns

I am not disputing his military career nor the medals and awards and tours of duty

What concerns me (and I am not ex military so maybe totally wrong) - how does his credibility stack up to say 4 star generals in the field who have had command post all over the world, likely in battle conditions and commanding thousands of men - like Austin as a simple example

How does he stand there and tell a 4 star generals what to do

From my understanding, even the Chairman of the Join Chief will report into him

He will be in essence, Deputy Commander In Chief

I can’t get my head around this one right now

And as I say - I hope I am 100% wrong!!

Chain of command is from President to SecDef to theatre commanders and Chiefs of Staff of the various branches.
None of the Joint Chiefs, including the Chairman, wear green tabs on their epaulets signifying that they are in the chain of Command. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the senior military advisor to the President

Discipline among the troops. Just like the generals that will do the Bidding of the President that has never served.

While in the Military, I reported to civilians. They said, I obeyed.

When I was an MP as an NCO, I controlled all situations that I was in; regardless of those with rank around me.

General respect overall.

 

[tgenec86]

Hegseth... I'm going to parallel my promotion to Program Manager a few years ago. I was procurement, and the PM I worked with was not doing well. One day, my Director calls me into her office, shows me a huge pay raise, and says we're making you the Naval PM representing supply chain. I asked what my job description was. No joke, she said - work with the Senior PM's who lead the program with the USN, learn what they need, and use all of your experience to get them answers, and solutions to their problems. That's it. That was my job description. So I called on decades of experience with Engineers, Quality, Finance, Contracts, Projects, Business Development, Aftermarket, Manufacturing, etc... and gave the Sr. PM's exactly what they needed, and a lot that they didn't know they needed. With Hegseth, he's got the background, he knows how shit is done, and I guarantee that if he doesn't - he knows who to ask that does. You don't get promoted by ALREADY having done the job. You get promoted by showing the competence to figure out a better way to do what the person before you did, or could not.

He'll be fine.

 

[GOPerfect]

The problems we have in the military these days are not with equipment or tactics.

It is with woke policy driven by politics that influences strategy. Some by career generals and admirals.

The woke virus needs to be rooted out.

Maybe that's what Pete Hegseth brings to the table.

His proximity to the troops might help in that capacity.

Scream it from the rooftops brother! Preach!!
