“‘He lost us’: Generals, senior officers say trust in Hegseth has evaporated - https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented and dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon, said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials.

Numerous high-ranking officers painted Mr. Hegseth’s Sept. 30 speech to hundreds of generals and admirals gathered at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia as a turning point in how his leadership style, attitude and overall competency are viewed in the upper echelons of the U.S. armed forces.

“It was a massive waste of time. … If he ever had us, he lost us,” one current Army general told The Washington Times."”

I understand they said he talked like a junior officer. Which he was. How could they take him seriously.

@Pfuzylogic As far as I can tell, Kegsbreath never completed any Professional Military Education (PME).

I’m not sure about the Army, but Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) was the USAF rank appropriate PME for Majors (O-4) and was pretty much a requirement for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel for line officers during the time Kegsbreath “served”… I believe that the Army also has the equivalent of Squadron Officers School (SOS) for Captains (O-3) to teach them the basics of leadership at a lower level.

I’m sure they must also have an equivalent to Intermediate Executive Skills and other PME courses that each of those assembled Flag Officers had to suffer through as well, only to be “lectured” by some wet behind the ears, trumped up town drunk who served only “at the pleasure of the demented pseudo POTUS” who just happens to be a draft dodger and convicted felon.

@KunsanVeteran They were equal in their pathos.
