Hegseth, a staunch opponent of DEI initiatives and former guard at Guantanamo Bay, has less leadership experience than current Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and critics have called him “unqualified.”

America’s next secretary of defense could be starkly different from what the country has ever seen before.

On Tuesday, just a day after Veterans Day, President-elect Donald Trump selected Pete Hegseth, 44, a former FOX News commentator and former Army National guardsman, to lead one of the world’s most powerful militaries.

I know call me racist, but Sec. Austin looks he is virtue signaling rather than protect Americans.

The liberal meltdown over Pete seems to focus on his gig with Fox News as their key criticism,.

As if his being on Fox News is the only thing he’s done in life.

As if his being on Fox News is supposed to disqualify him from being Sec. Of Defense.

You mean the Lloyd Austin who went missing for days and no one, not even the president, knew where he was. Talk about a colossal failure to safeguard Americans.
