No General needs to be SecDef. This man is qualified he was an 11B. If you know what that is, you know he is qualified. If you really wanted to get something done, put an NCO in there.

Hey NBC. You don't have to be a four star general to be Secretary of Defense. All you need is to know the difference between right and wrong. You are dismissed.

[jensimmons]

[cmvamerica]

We need unconventional people who aren’t part of the SWAMP. Go MAGA.

[HusseinDoha]

13:00 OK, the man was a captain. Dude was a foot soldier. That’s a valuable experience. And Do you know that know that civilians must be in control of the military, that means even if a President hires someone who never served, he or she can still be a good pick depending on other qualities.

[JayClaypool]

Say goodbye to healthcare say goodbye to social security say goodbye to Medicare and Medicaid say goodbye to DHHR system say goodbye to jobs the Republicans going to take all that away
