WASHINGTON — “Going sideways” is how Fox News host and National Guard veteran Pete Hegseth, announced last night as President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, recently dubbed the state of the Pentagon.
The pick of Hegseth, who lacks extensive experience in the defense or foreign policy sector, caught many off guard, prompting a slew of questions about how he might approach the job overseeing the military and its over $800 billion budget.
While a host of questions remain, Hegseth recently filmed an episode of the Shawn Ryan Show that dropped just five days ago. There, while promoting his new book, “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free,” he offered a peek at possible priorities in the Pentagon’s top civilian post.
Here are five key takeaways, in the prospective Pentagon chief’s own words.

Loving his appointment more every time I hear about this !!!
“Possible” shakeup?
It better be damned near ‘guaranteed’.
What are they going to do with all the cross-dressing freaks who have ensconced themselves in the ranks?
who lacks extensive experience in the defense or foreign policy sector, like what we have now?
If the only thing to come out of a Trump Administration is the firing of all the Woke generals at DoD, and a massive number of radical liberal, subversive government drones at all the departments, I’ll be happy.
Hegseth has a very clear vision of what's gone wrong with the military (it's been infected with Marxism and Critical Race Theory) and he's willing to do whatever it takes to return the military to a fighting machine based on merit.
“Loving his appointment more every time I hear about this!!”
Yes, me too!
Seismic changes are REQUIRED.
Pete has a lot of work ahead of him that is long over due.
“What are they going to do with all the cross-dressing freaks who have ensconced themselves in the ranks?”
Can they successfully accomplish their mission parameters?
These are not radical moves. Recall that Truman told MacArthur he was done, and Lincoln had to drop some generals.
Women out of Frontline units is just sound science. It’s called mission readiness.
I think the “limiting women in combat” crap is just code speak for making the same physical requirements for combat arms branches regardless of your chromosomes/plumbing.
Because right now, there is a disparity
👍👍👍👍👍
OBAMA, "who lacked extensive experience in the defense or foreign policy sector"
No healthy young man wants to serve in a woke military run by DEI hires.
The man rose to the rank of Major and won two Bronze Stars. Don't tell me that he lacks defense experience. He knows how to fight, which is more that the crew now leading the Pentagon can say.
Regardless if some can match the same physical standards as men, women do not belong in combat; it is doubtful that they belong in the military at all beyond roles as nurses and clerical staff. Men and women are different and have different roles to play. I am tired of chimera of pretending that they are the same.
Ultimately, no.
Their intense "maintenance" routines are a detriment to military readiness. The ones who want government-paid "transition" surgery are out of commission for at least 6 months or longer, and they can't be denied this treatment and be happy.
Trannies are inherently unstable mentally and emotionally. If they don't know what sex they are, how are they going to know which side to fight for?
Ideally should gender-segregate all aspects of the military, which worked very well for years.
The Communists wanted integration of the sexes NOT for womens' rights but to demoralize and destroy unit cohesion and mission success.
Which seems to have worked famously.
Since Trump is second-term POTUS AND CinC, he should just do it.
In a low birthrate country, it's stupid to have females in combat.
Who has reservations?
