re: Mark Kelly-Hegseth the least qualified secretary of defense in the history of our country.

Your meme perfectly illustrates my point. No doubt you are too dense to understand how.

If your point is that experience is actually important, especially in a position like SoD.

Hegseth was hired because he looks good on TV, not because he was the best person for the job.

quote:

---

(Hegseth) is the Secretary of War (not the Secretary of Defense).

---

The Constitution gives Congress the power to create executive departments and agencies, and the relevant legislation from Congress names THIS department as the "Department of Defense."

Thus, Trump cannot legally change its name to "Department of War" by fiat.

I know that upsets his loyal minions. Sorry.

Mark Kelly should be swinging from a noose.

Which has exactly ZERO relevance to the question of Hegseth's qualifications.

Do try to focus.

I just want to make a statement that no one should smack Mark Kelly upside the head with the force of Thor. Assault is illegal and illegal is bad so don't anyone try to smack Mark Kelly upside his stupid head.


Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Mark Kelly’s opinion doesn’t mean shite.

Why do you believe Hegseth is unqualified? What did Austin have that Hegseth didn't?

Already covered.....show me the same for Hegseth

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.

Before you answer, consider that Eisenhower was only one rank higher than Hegseth when WW2 broke out. Hegseth was a major and Eisenhower was a Lieutenant Colonel. Was Eisenhower not qualified to be the supreme allied commander because of his limited rank and resume?

---

I suggest you do a tiny bit of research on what Eisenhower did in the 25 years between graduating West Point and the outbreak of WWII. If you did you would know that the experience he gained during those years is vastly more than Hegseth's. He worked directly for some of the greatest leaders of his generation and became an expert in logistics. You would also know that promotions during the depression came much, much, slower than today.

Let's be real, Hegseth should never be in the same conversation as Eisenhower. That is just laughable.

On a board where we see some of the dumbest thoughts posted on a daily basis, this is a prize winner.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to create executive departments and agencies, and the relevant legislation from Congress names THIS department as the "Department of Defense."

Wrong again faggie newcomer! Secretary of war is a cabinet position which Trump chooses and congress approves.
