Per "Meet the Depressed."

I said something very simple and noncontroversial, and Donald Trump said I should be hanged, executed, prosecuted. Pete Hegseth said I should be court-martialed. I mean, how ridiculous is this? We say, "Follow the law," and this is their response? These are not serious people. And, Kristen, this is meant to just intimidate us. We're sticking up for the Constitution here and the rule of law. And they're saying, "These folks should be executed for doing that." I mean, Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He's unqualified for this job, should have never been put in this job. I, you know, did not vote for him. I think he is the least qualified secretary of defense in the history of our country, by far. And you can see this by how he has done this job over the last six months. And this president thinks he can bully and intimidate people. And he is not going to stop me from speaking out and holding him accountable for the things that he does that are wrong and unlawful.

Well, just like – just like saying that we should be hanged, executed, that's about intimidation. Sending the FBI after us, that's further intimidation. I'll follow the law, but I'm not going to be intimidated. I'm not going to be bullied, especially by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

KRISTEN WELKER:
Well, and let me talk to you about some of what's happening right now, the Washington Post reporting that Secretary Hegseth gave an order to kill everybody on one of those suspected drug boats during the first strike in September. Are you calling for U.S. service members to actively disobey orders like those?
SEN. MARK KELLY:
Well, if orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them.
KRISTEN WELKER:
Do you think that constitutes an illegal order?
SEN. MARK KELLY:
I think there needs to be an investigation. And I hope that the reporting is not accurate. I care, so much, about the United States Navy and those service members. And this was an operation involving the most professional members of the military, U.S. Navy SEALs, who I revere. I hope and pray that this is not true. But there needs to be an investigation by the inspector general. Pete Hegseth fired many of the inspectors general in DoD, but whoever is left needs to investigate it. We're going to investigate it. I sit on the Armed Services Committee. We're going to have an investigation. We're going to have a public hearing. We're going to put these folks under oath. And we're going to find out what happens – happened. And then, there needs to be accountability.

So he can’t or won’t say illegal orders have been given but feels comfortable asking service members to not follow illegal orders. Never felt the need to say it under Biden. Dude is a douche bucket

First, he is the Secretary of War. Secondly, when does the opinion of a traitor mean anything?

What illegal orders were given under the Biden administration?

That’s the point, what illegal orders have been given under Trump?
No one can name any. So why would you say what they are saying? I know it’s above your pay grade of intelligence to pick up on that. None of the seditious six can name anything illegal.

It is the Department of War. Therefore, Hegseth is the Secretary of War.

Ok, that is a close one.
McElroy did run a massive organization prior to becoming SoD, which is a key part of the job. Eisenhower also only gave him the job after he agreed to only serve 2 years, so he was more of an interim.
Kinda scary that we have to go back 85 years to find one that is close.

In your lifetime:
Which prior secretary do you feel was most qualified?
Or
If you feel Hegseth is not qualified, who would be a better option?

It is clear to any reasonable person that Lloyd Austin is vastly more qualified for the job than Whiskey Pete.
quote:
e graduated from the United States Military Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree and a commission in the Infantry. He holds a Master of Arts degree in counselor education from Auburn University, and a Master of Business Management from Webster University. He is a graduate of the Infantry Officer Basic and Advanced courses, the Army Command and General Staff College, and the Army War College.
His 41-year career in the Army included command at the corps, division, battalion, and brigade levels. Mr. Austin was awarded the Silver Star for his leadership of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Seven years later, he would assume the duties of Commanding General of United States Forces – Iraq, overseeing all combat operations in the country.
After a tour as the Army’s Vice Chief of Staff, Mr. Austin concluded his uniformed service as the Commander of U.S. Central Command, responsible for all military operations in the Middle East and Afghanistan. In this assignment, he led U.S. and coalition efforts to battle ISIS in Iraq and Syria. He retired from the Army in April, 2016.
Following his retirement from military service, Mr. Austin served on the Boards of Directors for Raytheon Technologies, Nucor, and Tenet Healthcare.

Hank’s whole history has been put in the freezer he needs to make his presence felt under his new name.

Maybe the Secretary of War can release all of Kelly's records for the world to see exactly what he did that was considered totally inappropriate during his career or not.

He's running for president in 2028. The administration better have their P's and Q's in order. The administration doesn't want democrat poster children in Venezuela saying what good fishermen they were before they got blown up.
I also would prefer that the administration fish or cut bait relative to Venezuela. I don't care to see the occasional drug boat blown up as our policy to fight drugs. Like give us a story. Where are these boats coming from? And according to our intelligence, where are they going? I have no frickin' idea. I don't think they are going from wherever to San Diego or Miami.
