Discussion of Concerns for Trump Presidency

[RLLD 4,117]

Are we allowed to simply assert that anyone opposing Noem is.......misogynist?   Or are we today allowed to really discuss qualifications for a woman without being called some name?

Hegseth has a decorated combated history and it's laudable what he does to support veterans but what is his strategic experience when it comes to commanding a military

What was Ash Carter’s or William Cohen

Ashe Carter worked in the Secretary of Defense Department for 3 years under Bill Clinton as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs and then worked as Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.

William Cohen served on the Senate Armed Forces Committee. He served on the Governmental Affairs Committee. He was on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He also cowrote bills like the Goldwater-Nichols act..

Maybe Pete Hegseth would’ve been more qualified if he was on the board of Raytheon or a partner in Pine financial. . Look up his military background, numbnuts

Have you, Sec of Defense usually has a much larger military resume than 8 part-time years. 

Quote

 

Following graduation from Princeton in 2003, Hegseth joined Bear Stearns as an equity capital markets analyst and was also commissioned as an infantry officer in the Minnesota National Guard.[15] In 2004 his unit was called to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, where he served as an infantry platoon leader with the Minnesota Army National Guard. His unit was under the operational control of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne Division. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. Shortly after returning from Cuba, Hegseth volunteered to serve in Baghdad and Samarra, where he held the position of infantry platoon leader and, later in Samarra, as Civil–Military Operations Officer. During his time in Iraq, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, and a second Army Commendation Medal.[16][citation needed]

He returned to active duty in 2012 as a captain. He deployed to Afghanistan with the Minnesota Army National Guard and acted as a senior counterinsurgency instructor at the Counterinsurgency Training Center in Kabul.

Noem- what are her qualifications on handling cyber security or border issues or any of that? 

And Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. If people wanted a two-state solution in the Middle East you can almost kiss that goodbye. 

It's why, despite all the glowing reviews here, his first term was pretty meh, accomplished little and failed when real leadership was required.  

ETA: You forgot Zeldin, clearly a real friend of the enviroment.

Certainly Admirals and Generals would have had far greater exposure to and familiarity with the scope and capabilities of our military, particularly our naval and air assets.  While Hegseth's service is laudable, and his education impressive, his experience does seem extremely limited.   Had he been made the head of Veteran's Affairs I could have supported that appointment, but Sec. of Defense, I want someone with broader experience and perspective than a platoon commander.

Yes- I agree that something like Veteran's Affairs would've been better because it is more in line with what he has championed and I think he would've been a valuable asset there. Making him the Secretary of Defense just feels like a huge overreach.

 

[Hardcore troubadour 14,676]

Libtards concerned about qualifications all of a sudden. Lol. What is a woman? 

[The Real timschochet 5,981]

Secretary of Defense is one of those invisible positions unless we are at war. I had to look up who our current one is. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if during the next 4 years we never hear Hegseth’s name mentioned again in the news once he takes his role. 

[Hardcore troubadour 14,676]

Gotta drive the woke out of the military. Like St Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.

Says the dumb a$$ that supports the side that doesn't know the difference in male vs female.  Just shut the F up Rusty.  No one cares about your trolling.  Go beat your head on a wall.  You lost last week.  Not our problem.  Deal with it like someone older than 10.

I'm not sure what side it is that doesn't know the difference between a male and female. I've known the difference since I was a very young child. You seem to struggle with knowing the difference between someone who knows the difference between a male and female vs. someone who doesn't know the difference between a male and female.

I can assure you that whatever side you think I'm on knows the difference, but you and your ilk sure seem to spend a lot of time obsessing in a highly unhealthy way about those who don't know the difference. Perhaps you could put this obsession of yours to use and develop a short power-point presentation to show to those you worry so much about when it comes to knowing gender differences. Be the change you want to see.

One would think there would be more important things for your side to obsess over, but it's that in this wonderful country of ours that you have the right to obsess over whatever you want, including that hard-fought right to fock and make babies under the protective umbrella of Reproductive Rights!

This apparently national issue doesn't rank up there with immigration and abortion, but I respect your passion and dedication regarding at.

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!

Poor thing can't even punctuate a sentence, much less grasp a handful of concisely written paragraphs. Perhaps you should set aside your gender-related obsession that few actually care about and tool on down to your local community college for a continuing-education class on grammar, punctuation and spelling. 

Having a grasp of the English language could come in handy in your quest to educate the world on Reproductive Rights and male-female anatomy differences that even the mentally retarded understand at an early age.

Reproduction Rights - another cute catch phrase that will backfire like everything else.  You want this right to kill babies.  Maybe your manager at McDonald's can explain it to you.

I thought we were talking about the term Reproductive Rights.

I'm not familiar with Reproduction Rights and that one must learn about them from a McDonald's manager. 

Is this something taught in Hamburger University?

You've really opened my eyes to so much that I don't know!

Thank you!

(I apologize if this is too many sentences for you to absorb in one sitting.)

Is there a lot of wokeism in the military? I know people keep saying that but how does it hurt our ability to defend ourselves as a country.

Look I- like quite a few- am not signing up to fight in the military. So if a dude wants to give himself boobs and then go shoot a few ISIS members....more power to them.

Curious how much MAGAloids obsess over this. Normal folks spend little time thinking about it, much less obsessing. Frankly, the only time it enters my mind is when witnessing the MAGAloid obsessing over it, so much obsession that it's impossible to ignore. 

Then you've got poor BrahmaBalls here not only raging with obsession but believing Reproductive Rights means some federally orchestrated right for men and women to fock and have babies.

It would be disturbing if it weren't so amusing.

Just like having asthma makes you ineligible for combat duty. Being a tranny does to. You can’t put someone in that position that needs daily medication

and wokeness is horrible in the military. They lowered the requirements physically to meet quotas. The military is only as strong as its weakest member. And that’s always a tranny or woman
