Well qualified. Another FReeper compared him to Sam Brinton; enough said.
Yeah, but will David Brooks approve?
Deus vult is a Latin phrase that means "God wills it" and was used as a battle cry by Christian Crusaders during the First Crusade in 1096. It's a Christian motto that relates to Divine providence.
And a Jerusalem Cross tattoo on his chest.

HENRY KNOX
Source: Founder of the Day"By age 20, Knox had opened his own bookstore in Boston. His establishment was frequented by British soldiers as well the local elite. His reading and conversation often turned to military tactics and history."
When Henry Knox joined the rebels outside Boston, General Artemus Ward ordered him to instruct the artillery units during the Battle of Bunker Hill.
When George Washington arrived he quickly developed a friendship with Knox that would last a lifetime. Washington put Knox in charge of artillery for the entire Continental Army.
Ugh - I’m only 1/2 way through and really need to hit the sack. Hegseth is really on target.
I don’t know if he’s the guy to plan a war if one is necessary. But when it comes to straightening out our military, I can now see why Trump chose him.
