Law Trump picks Fox News host for Defense Secretary

[SRN]

The thing i always wondered is if this guy is really bald or just some freaky shit going on

I think it's a choice. He sports a mohawk sometimes.

The fact that this clown was invited to the Oscars

I gotta ask...

Why are you watching the red carpet for the Oscars and why do you care enough to put that tranny in your browsing history? Lol

Pretty sus

 

[aerius]

I like no one is attacking his beliefs just that he’s in media

Probably because:
a) They don't know WTF his beliefs are
b) They're totally fine with Zionism and fucking up Iran & other countries in the middle east

Or you could watch what he said we should do to our military

lol I haven't watched the Oscars in decades, just stumbled across this pic when I was trying to find his mugshot.

I have no problem with trannies

[terrapin]

He's also a infantry major with actual combat experience and education from both Princeton and Harvard

Well that settles it. He's qualified to run the whole military.

lol

 

[aerius]

I did. I still say "fuck that Zionist shit head".

 

[terrapin]

The guy he's replacing was a 4 star general.

Do you think he's getting the job more for being a major, or for being a Fox News host?

Neither

Ass kisser and similarly unqualified-- like trump.

 

[Rob Battisti]

I did. I still say "fuck that Zionist shit head".

Yeah not into Zionism, but that’s not the role of the SecDef

 

[Fox by the Sea]

I gotta ask...

Pretty sus

really? the "why do you care" line?
that's pure despair.

 

[Rational Poster]

Yeah not into Zionism, but that’s not the role of the SecDef

Well this is what the Secretary of State has to say on the topic. Seems rather aligned.

 

[terrapin]

Trump once again making a mockery of qualifications, preparedness, education and experience.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Well that settles it. He's qualified to run the whole military.

lol

What qualifications should Sec Def have?

 

[avenue94]

I like no one is attacking his beliefs just that he’s in media

What about the fact that he has no experience leading an organization of any noteworthy sizez and now he's supposed to lead one of the largest departments?

Or the fact that he has no diplomatic experience or connections with allied militaries even though the position is frequently called to do both.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Well this is what the Secretary of State has to say on the topic. Seems rather aligned.

So far, 0% of Secretaries of State have actually been an FSO. I wonder why people don't push for more actual diplomats in that position.

For what it's worth, just under 30% of Secretaries of Defense have never been in the military

 

[terrapin]

What qualifications should Sec Def have?

I think he should as least have been a game show host first.



Ash Carter was appointed to the role of U.S. Secretary of Defense by President Obama. He was in the position from February 17, 2015, until January 20, 2017. Before this role, he was the United States Deputy Secretary of Defense and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics.


In general, the U.S. Secretary of Defense position is filled by a civilian who, if having served in the U.S. Armed Forces, has been retired for at least seven years. Congress may grant an exemption to this timeline if desired. In addition, the individual filling the role must understand the United States defense environment and U.S. Armed Forces. They must be able to provide strategic leadership to the department, oversee budgets and make financial decisions, collaborate with military leaders, and advise the president on defense policy and strategy.

What qualifications should Sec Def have?

Experience running an enterprise with literally hundreds of thousands of staff.

Being a low level infantry commander and saying the right buzzwords on TV isn't a good qualification, imo.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Experience running an enterprise with literally hundreds of thousands of staff.

But, Robert McNamara passed away in 2009

So, Fox News guy qualifies.
