    I think it has a lot to do with policy. They share a disdain of DEI and it making equity of results the litmus test of equality of opportunity. He has real world experience on the ground in the military as a company grade officer and insight to how the efforts to socially engineer our society impact the fighting capacity of the military. I think he lacks the experience to be helpful in strategic concerns and he also lacks the organizational leadership experience at high enough levels to likely bring to fruition the change he is charged with bringing to pass- but make no mistake that he shares Trump's policy objectives wrt the Department of Defense.

    I am not so convinced Armegeddon is right around the corner. Hell even OxfordCoug is gettin' it now!
    do you think dei has actually had an impact on the military. it seems like all the same woke boogeyman nonsense. what slowdowns has the military shown?

    experience as a soldier has what to do with leading the department after years in the news.

    maybe he wont support trump doing illegal things, I am not confident

      Yes-I believe any policies intending to make equity of results as a litmus test for equality of opportunities will hurt combat readiness as it subordinates meritocracy to other priorities for decision making. I think his experience as a junior level officer gives him insight into how DEI motivated policies impact combat readiness of small combat units. I am convinced you will be convinced he supports Trump doing illegal things. My concerns about him is his lack of any experience in the strategic realm, his military experience is smaller units so it is purely tactical realm and since the military he has been a talking wanker. I also find his lack of high level management experience concerning-it will likely mitigate his effectiveness. You ought to find some optimism in that.

      I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

        Hey if his effectiveness for getting war crimes pardoned is compromised, I'll take some comfort in that!

          This is my concern and my reason for relief at the same time. The guy hasn't run anything and is being asked to run the largest department in the USG. But at the same time, because of that, he will be heavily dependent on the "unelected bureaucrats" to help him in decision-making and getting things done. This is going to be the same for most every other nominee which are a bunch of lightweights.

          I do wonder what he will do the first time Trump orders him to deploy the 101st Airborne to some U.S. city that is having a protest.

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            Trump's apparent nomination of Matt Gaetz as the new AG is appallingly bad.

              He'll get an opinion from AG Matt Gaetz and Russian Asset NSA Tulsi Gabbard.

              I hate this timeline.

                Unreal.

                At this point Trump has to know that any normal republican senate wouldn't back down with these nominations. But since this crop has sold out 100% and their careers are dependent on him he can nominate with impunity and dare them to vote nominees down. I would love to think there is some spine amongst them to vote no (at least to Gaetz!), but I doubt it.

                      I could be wrong, but a lot of these have multiple purposes, one being Trump is using them as loyalty tests. He wants to suss out his enemies among the repub senators and primary those that won't kiss the ring.

                            Senate republicans refused to select ultra-MAGA Rick Scott as majority leader, going with the more moderate Thune. I guess we can claim a small victory there.

                              Yeah, this one is especially bad.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
