WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Donald Trump stunned the Pentagon and the broader defense world by nominating Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary, tapping someone largely inexperienced and untested on the global stage to take over the world's largest and most powerful military.

The news was met with bewilderment and worry among many in Washington as Trump passed on a number of established national security heavy-hitters and chose an Army National Guard captain well known in conservative circles as a co-host of Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends Weekend."

While some Republican lawmakers had a muted response to the announcement, others called his combat experience an asset or said he was "tremendously capable."

Libtards won't be able to look past "Fox News host" and are going to get even more deranged.

I think it's an excellent choice. We need new people, untainted by experience, who will act boldly; unencumbered by woke concepts like "qualifications".

"Qualifications" is an anti-woke term that the Progressive consider to be so very hateful.

This is getting better by the minute!!!

I was right.

You see this as qualification to run the US military? An armchair officer over Admirals and Five star generals who have spent a lifetime in the service of this country?

Another yes man has been placed.

I was right.

I know nothing about the guy and will reserve judgment until I see what he does with this position. However, looking at that write up, he seems to have a history of caring about our vets. Also, don't think he's bought and paid for, and will hopefully keep us out of conflicts.

Whereas the current guy holding this position is a retired 4-Star General. But his previous history compromised of positions on the corporate boards of steel manufacturing giant Nucor Corporation, Tenet Healthcare and United Technologies, which merged with defense contractor Raytheon Company in 2020. The merged corporation, Raytheon Technologies, is among the top five top lobbying spenders in the defense sector and spent almost $11 million on lobbying in 2020. Austin earned seven figures from the defense companies. Austin stepped down from all three board positions following his nomination in 2020. Prior to joining the Biden administration, Austin worked alongside fellow cabinet member Antony Blinken at Pine Island Capital Partners, a private equity firm investing in defense companies that touted its access to Washington.

You clowns would rather a corrupt lobbyist that will further enrich the war machine with his position, just because he was once a 4 star general.

Personally, I would rather someone who doesn't profit off of war, hold that position regardless of how many medals he got.

You picked a business man as president and don't care that he didn't divest himself while holding the highest office on the planet.

Why the concern all of a sudden?

-------------------------
I was right.

He's going to emphasize war fighting? Yup, the progs will hate that. Their gods are failure and stupidity.

I :heart; Q

Stay on topic.

I welcome an outsider with a history of supporting our veterans to hold this position. You apparently would rather a decorated lobbyist that makes profit off of war.

discuss.....

Damn, you doubled down.... Just can't stay on topic when its smacks truth in your face, huh Cole? Instead we get he classic prejudiced, non-sequitur libtard response. And you STILL don't get why America voted out the DNC.

Contradiction. lol

Hell, I'm all for it. The real military will keep these guys under wraps when they start making stupid decisions.

All I can say is, GO! GO! GO! lol



-------------------------
I was right.

The diots who were happily voting for a senile president are criticizing cabinet picks? You have no right to say anything.

Well I hope a fight doesn't break out in the War Room.

You picked two mentally deficient individuals to hold the office---or to be figureheads as well as dunces!
