Hegseth for Defense Secretary? Another dumb move.
Trump is driving one nail after another into his own coffin. Hegseth is another war hawk.

Look at Austin. Gets sick, gets hospitalized, never lets Biden know. Fails to stay in the. Chain of Command. An extremely ill thought out and very dangerous action on his part.
We need IMO a Secretary of Defense who will have a military that if the event comes, will be ready to go to war.
As a veteran I think our military is being used as a social engineering experiment. And appreciate the fact that our adversaries sees this and are responding accordingly.
As far as “ War hawk”; stop and realize our adversaries are very much war hawks and are actively engaged in that mind set.

I'm not sold on Hegseth as a person but the Secretary of Defence doesn't actually decide if and when the US will go to war. His job is to make sure the military is capable of fighting any war the POTUS and Congress should decide to fight. You must admit that the US military is a joke at the moment. It couldn't even beat the Houtis.

It is Trump, the US President, who decides when we go or not go to war.
Warfighting capability is a martial art. This expertise is the province of military combat commanders who, traditionally, are graduates of West Point Military Academy. Hegseth graduated from Princeton where he studied politics. Combat performance of the US armed forces has been dismal after WW2. We had never won a war since Korea even when led by General MacArthur. Vietnam was a mess even when we were fighting rice paddy farmers with superior firepower. It was the same dismal performance in the Mid-East fighting goat-herders. We never had to face down a comparably armed adversary head on in any contested area until now: hiding behind Ukranians to fight Russia. I doubt Hegseth is any better than our good-for-nothing Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth was picked by Trump to fire them and remove women and alphabeth people from the ranks of fighting men.
The US has a sick foreign policy. Our military can be likened to a gun wielded by a nutjob.

@NativePortlander1970 Why does America need need protecting? Do you carry a gun with you wherever you go? Are you constantly afraid that someone would harm you?
