Secretary of Defense pick— Pete Hegseth
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
Sure are a lot of total outsiders in this new administration.
This is a strong, for the troops pick. His presence alone will get woke generals to resign or retire. If they don't he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will not tolerate decent in any of ranks. You don't like it leave. The military is going to be a must watch over the next couple years.
I would think the troops would love this pick, knowing they have one of their on in leadership. With the way the Biden Administration treated them like shit this has got to be a huge moral booster. As long as Hegseth is smart enough to know what he doesn't know and listens to those that do, this should bee a great pick.
patriots and warriors are now running this country
political slime can’t negotiate with blade backed accountability
I like it. A true outsider who isn't a political ladder climber, cares about the US, the military and readiness. The defense contractors are probably going to have a fit.
as the drama around trumps confirmations plays out
we will collectively gain perspective on our enemies who maintain indefensible positions and their agenda
play time is over
patriots are in control

the giant effin enigma incoming
It doesn't surprise me to see the AF as the branch that is out front on the DEI initiatives forced on the armed forces. I look forward to seeing Hegseth get this straightened out and turn the AF back into a fighting force and not a social experiment. The AF can be one of the US's greatest military assets, when it is allowed to have thier airman become professional war fighters.
It's not just the AF brutha.
No, but they are most likely the the branch that embraced DEI the most. I don't know for sure but I do know they embraced being a social experiment before Obama was even in the WH.
Military leadership in all branches fully bought in.
I'll take your word for it. I don't think any branch was left untouched. The secretary of defense will have his work cut out for him, and will have to replace or eliminate positions of a lot of top brass, and then work your way down. However, I do think if you change our the officers you will get the change you need.
She heard that one of his ancestors was in Custer's 7th cavalry and wiped out some of her fake tribe.
Trump floating DeSantis as Hegseth's replacement is genius. They couldn't deny DeSantis and he would be as effective if not more effective at destroying the BS in the DOD.
The louder the libs scream about Hegseth, the more dangerous he is to them.
And now we know this is a completely BS story fabricated by a couple of RINO Senators.
Which means they likely talked to DeSantis before talking to the WSJ. Even if they didn't, DeSantis knows Trump hasn't talked to him about the position, yet he hasn't made a public statement denyin the story.
Cause he doesn't want to piss off the RINOs. DeSantis is an even bigger snake in the grass than McConnell.
Why would DeSantis be expected to be in the loop of what Trump is (or isn't) thinking. He's running Florida. He's not involved in the cabinet discussions. Its very possible that Trump's circle discussed DeSantis without ever actually contacting him. That's the problem with these news stories. DeSantis's name could be from an off-the-cuff comment about who the 'Plan B' candidates might be, and that becomes: "Trump mulls replacing Hegseth with DeSantis." And suddenly, you're up in arms about DeSantis being a RINO because HE didn't come out and deny the report. And suddenly, the media narrative of DeSantis being a RINO becomes real, regardless of all the pro-Conservative policies enacted under his watch in Florida.
