They're completely woke nowadays. It's dusgusting.

That's true, however if you were to talk to Pete Hegseth for two minutes you would find he is the furthest thing from woke that you can possibly be, but you don't need to take my word for it.

I can 99.999% guarantee he will make changes to the DoD that will purge the woke nonsense and get back to the business of defending the country.  :yes:

If Trump has anything to say he will rip it from the entire country. Starting with military and colleges.

Trump banned it via executive order during his first term.
The first thing Biden did was shut down the Keystone Pipeline, the 2nd was to restore DEI
DEI need to be banned by the Congress and Senate, then the ban signed into law by the President
Then it can't be restored by executive order.

I was really hoping for Terry Bollea to get the sec defense role. I hope this guy is good too.

He's a fox news commentator.  How can he not be?   :D

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Oddly enough, his military service which spanned ~10 years gets 1% of the coverage and has been on Fox for also ~10 years gets 99% of the coverage.

No bias there. :rolleyes:

The fact he's getting so much scrutiny and the Harpies are screeching so much tells me there's a good chance he's the right guy. If not, Trump will ask for his resignation. I just know we don't need another woke ass kissing flag officer in the position.

Yup.

The fact that Dem Senators Elizabeth 'Fake Indian' Warren and Dick 'Stolen Valor' Blumenthal don't like him is a good indication that Trump is on the right track.

Fortunately, the two aforementioned dopes will be in the minority when it comes to confirming Hegseth, so their opinion and 5 bucks will get them a cup of coffee at Starbuck's.  :yes:

We're done fuckin' around and playing nice.
We need REAL change, and it looks like that is what we will get.  :yes:

This is just an observation, nothing more.

It's fascinating to hear you guys talk about political appointees like you would a fantasy football team. I used to work  with guys who had a league who were so knowledgeable about the players that they had to spend hours watching games and studying them.

IT sounds as though some of the "harpies" are other military guys who think he's unqualified.

I figure we already have a talk show host for a president. Why not a fox news commentator as secretary of defense?  :D

Just try to wrap your head around what a Kamala Harris cabinet would look like...

Yeah.

Trump's WORST pick would still look pretty good... :rolleyes:  :rofl:
