Tell me why we should continue to support Republicans? All of them voted in favor of this stooge who is going to drag us into more wars in the middle east along with continuing the nonsense boondoggle. over there.

Both parties want permanent war in the middle east to enrich themselves with the blood money from defense contractors at the expense of our young uniformed men.

Moreover, this dude declared during confirmation 'hearings' that his main priority is to rid the ranks of 'white supremacists' and 'systemic racism' because there are too many whites in the higher ranks.

Should do wonders for morale and readiness!

What’s the big deal?

If he is qualified and capable, why vote against him?

Amazing how these appointments just run right through now that they’re not Trump’s.

And all Republicans but 2 voted for this guy?

Please tell me why we need to keep voting for them instead of a 3rd party.

We need an anti-war party.

What makes him qualified? He is a total shill for permanent middle east war.

Shockingly these people are finally acknowledging the CCP as a big threat. Got the memo from Team Trump. Time to step up! We already know Biden is China's bitch!

I have it on good authority that this is all show because Biden wasn't really sworn in on 1-20-2021 and the military is in charge...

From a political perspective it will make for an awesome "I told you so" from Trump.

They have all the rope. Let then hang themselves.

Technically Austin isn't qualified. Sec. of Defense must be out of service for 7 years. Austin has only been retired 5.


They swore they would not do it again after they broke this rule for Mattis to become SoD.
