the guy is NOT qualified for the job. I'm not even speaking of the booze ,, cheating, ect. Hell, he isn't remotely qualified to run one of my companies. He drove 2 Non Profits into the ground. Now, he's up for running the biggest govt. bureaucracy . Please don't think im against all Trumps potential appts. I take each individually. I think Bondy is qualified, Bessent for Sec State is a good pick, Wright for Energy is a good one also.
You mean his main disqualification is working for Fox, eh?

An anonymous whistle-blower? Come on. Even lefties should be able to see through smear campaigns
Need to work on your reading comp. Has ZERO to do with Fox. He was qualified to be a talking head. He is not qualified because there is nothing in his background that says he is qualified. Again, he has never run a medium size organization , much less the DOD which is the largest organization in our govt. He bankrupted 2 very small non profits which says he has ZERO understanding of budgets and the relative complexity. I will turn the tables on you that you think since he is a Trump nominee, he's qualified. He just isn't, period. Please tell me why you think he is qualified.

I love watching you guys who profess to be of high moral character twist and turn your values into the ground for Trump.


Sorry you hate redemption and forgiveness. Those are core Christian values.

I'm sorry your TDS has rotted your brain and makes you so hateful.

Define the qualifications.


are you serious. He has NO meaningful mgt experience, particularly with a huge , huge organzation. Please tell me different.



How can you claim someone is not qualified if you cannot list the qualifications?
I did above. Experience in managing large organizations. He has shown that he cannot manage a small non profit with out bankrupting both.

How large must the organization be?

For how many years must one run said organization?

What type of organization? Does it mater?

Is that the only qualifications? Anything else?

Do you think those above the DOD secretary have similar qualifications?

very large

enough time to master management of said organizations. ones with budgets he couldn't squander

organizations can be varied, it could be in the private or public. Size and complexity do matter

Not the only qualification, to be sure. He is definitely smart which is certainly important. Needs to be an independent thinker, well organized , focused, leadership,, people skills, international negotiations experience (he has non and said so today), ability to manage headcount, manage budgets. As I said above, I don't have issues with his past as long as he changed. I'm all for 2nd chances.

I appreciate that ... genuinely.

I have no idea of he'll be a good Secretary of Defense. Here is what I do know ...

1. There literally could not be anyone worse that the current Didn't Earn It hire whose career is based on nothing but his skin color and who 1) oversaw the worst military defeat in U.S. history; and 2) disappeared from the office for weeks and no one realized he was gone ... which underscores how Token the DEI hires are ...

2. You voted voted for Barack Obama as PRESIDENT ... and he never managed a single person nor oversaw any organization

3. There is a clear divide emerging between the Democrat Military-Industrial Complex and the Trump voters who oppose it ... I trusted Eisenhower in 1960 when he warned us against it. That's why there is such a hatred of Hegpeth.

The reaction you see is to the hypocrisy and not necessarily the nominees. Hard to sympathize with you "qualifications claims" when Biden's cabinet' sole qualification was mental illness / wearing a dress, sucking cock. or being non-White.

The tribal hypocrisy is stupid. Surely you can understand the eye rolls from those who celebrated the crazy old rac/pist president who nominated mentally ill psychos whose only qualification was being men who liked to wear dresses and pretend they were women.

just for the record , I did not vote for Obama and his lack of experience was one of the reasons. I in no way voted for Biden and I think he was a clown show and he had many non qualified folks. I am just voicing my concern with Pete's qualifications or lack there of, not anything related to the Biden years. As I mentioned above, I think Bondy, Energy Sec, Sec. of state are all solid picks.

While you may no have voted for Obama, you were not on here daily gnashing teeth that he literally is the least qualified person ever to run for president. I think what you TDSers refuse to get is there is less a loyalty to Trump and more of a double standard that praises the deep state and Military-Industrial complex ... Trump's support is more a reaction against the Military-Industrial complex as an inherent love of Trump.

I dont have a problem with Hegseth and I think he is the type of guy needed to be over the military. They're doing the right thing by letting all the people discharged come back with back pay. That said, you would have to be a fool to go back into this military. I get it if you are a few years away from retirement but they wouldnt be doing all of this if they didnt need troops badly. There is going to be another mideast war that America shouldnt be involved in but we will be anyways bc once again Israel is going to start a war for us to fight. Nobody should sign up for that crap.

I read the Military needs about 75,000 to enlist to catch up. For one thing the qualified and trained should be paid better. If we can blow money on Ukraine like Biden and the Dems have done we can pay our soldiers better
I think hegseth can do the job.
KaiBear

Hegseth will be confirmed.

To increase enlistments:

Increase pay
Provide better housing
RESTORE PREVIOUS RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Eliminate woke bull**** throughout the military but especially in combat units.

I will turn the tables on you that you think since he is a Trump nominee, he's qualified. He just isn't, period. Please tell me why you think he is qualified.
It's interesting that you believe running the defense dept. is similar to running a private business. I don't recall you being up in arms when Biden made the controversial choice of Lloyd Austin, a career military man (much like Hegseth), with no experience managing a business, as his pick for Defense Secretary. And of course, after his military career, he went and worked for a defense contractor.

Rumsfeld had such experience, of course, and may have been the worst Sec. of Defense in modern history, responsible for thousands of our young men's deaths in Iraq.

I am not sure serving on the board of a defense contractor - or even being able to run a private business - makes one qualified to be Sec. of Defense.

Of course not. Conservatives were forced to vote for the lesser of the evils this election cycle.
