Trump Names Fox News Host, Veteran Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary

The military needs to be focused solely on being able to fight and win, not some social experiment that's all inclusive. If you don't want to conform to the standards then don't join. The Marines and Sikhs come to mind, letting them wear turbans and keep their beards. Nope you're welcome to join but no turbans or beards when serving.

And on that note… What ever happened to females in the combat arms jobs?

Don’t get me wrong, I have two daughters that I believe can do anything (youngest can shoot!), I just wouldn’t want them humping a ruck through a foreign jungle over some political bullshit.

If they want too be in combat arms and can meet the standards then more power to them. Of course I would expect the same standards apply to men and women in combat arms. Separate standards is doing a dis-service to both the women and men in combat arms and could cause unnecessary deaths.

The Sikhs get a pass. When your religion let's you get away with carrying giant ass knives around everywhere, you're good. :flipoff2:


But, it's also pretty dumb since their whole religion is peace and tolerance, which doesn't exactly fit in with the Marines.

Marine boot camp is all about making a diverse group of boys into Marines and part of that is you all look the same. Letting boots keep their beards and wear turbans defeats that goal. Or anything else that lets a recruit be different from the rest of the platoon.:mad3:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — To date, Donald Trump has appointed seven people to his presidential cabinet, with at least seven more on the way. But is the damage already done? Critics are sounding the alarm that his current picks have zero experience as useless government bureaucrats.
American citizens, media pundits, and politicians from both sides of the aisle have expressed concern. According to sources, they just don't understand what Trump is thinking.
"Tulsi Gabbard as head of National Intelligence? Really?" said a flabbergasted John Bolton who previously served as Trump's National Security Advisor. "She doesn't have any experience sitting around Washington for years being a corrupt waste of space. We can't have that!"
Governor Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary along with Tom Homan as Border Czar have also caused significant controversy because politicians fear they may actually address concerns at the southern border to prevent illegal immigration.
"Trump needs to pick people with experience in being faceless cogs in the federal machine who won't change anything," said MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough. "These people are talking about doing their jobs and that scares me."
"The government has a long history of useless bureaucrats. It's an American tradition," said James Carville. "I mean, Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary? He's going to strengthen our military and take care of our veterans. It's simply unconscionable!"
According to past members of presidential cabinets, it's not easy doing nothing. Only time will tell if the appointees can settle into their new jobs and become as useless as everyone else in Washington.
At publishing time, Trump further upset the status quo with his appointment of Thomas Massie as Secretary of Agriculture.
