The Pentagon's Grim Reaper Cometh Duane Patterson FTA: It seemed at least for the last three or four days, there might not be the wall-to-wall contentious fights ahead we on the right anticipated. Then came the announcement from Donald Trump late Tuesday afternoon that he had chosen his nominee to be the next Secretary of Defense - Pete Hegseth. Once the texts started streaming in on my phone, I knew it was time to buckle up, because we were going to encounter unexpected turbulence. The Hegseth choice is certainly Donald Trump thinking outside of the box, which in and of itself is actually a good thing considering the sclerotic atmosphere at the Pentagon. But you can just hear what the complaints are going to be, right? He's a Fox News host. He's unqualified. He's too young. He hasn't run anything. He's not a thinker. The confirmation hearings are going to be nothing short of spectacular. This nomination will be the one scalp the Democrats in the Senate are going to try to claim. You can just see it coming. After spending some time last night reviewing the record and recordings of Pete Hegseth, I've come to the conclusion that Pete is going to do just fine - both in his confirmation hearing, and on the job as SecDef. The primary objection seems to be that he's a media guy, as though that's suddenly dispositive for not being qualified to go into government. I'm sure that same standard will be applied to the parade of Democrats that have established a conduit between government service and regime media. {snip} The sin of omission in this argument, though, is that nowhere among the left's baying at the Moon is his military service both on active duty and in the Minnesota National Guard, including tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, as well as his work as executive director of both Concerned Vets For America and Vets For Freedom. Pete is 44-years-old. By comparison, the Late Donald Rumsfeld, veteran of two stints at DOD under Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, began his first tour at the age of 43. Age is not a factor here. As for allegedly not knowing anything, regime media and Democrats are overlooking a Bachelor's Hegseth he earned from Princeton, and a Master's from Harvard. He's also done think tank work in his past, affiliated with groups like Americans For Prosperity. He's no dummy. Hegseth, if confirmed, is going to be a disruptive force at the Department of Defense, something that building desperately needs. https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2024/11/13/the-pentagons-grim-reaper-cometh-n3796939 .

Here's Trump's Plan to Purge the Pentagon of the Woke Brass by Matt Vespa President-elect Donald J. Trump is sending signals to the military brass. They’re going back to protecting our country, killing our enemies, and enhancing our national security. The era of woke nonsense and sensitivity training is over. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Trump’s plans for the Pentagon, alluding to the “chilling” effect it could have on the officer corps, but the president-elect has a mandate and should use it. The reported executive order would create a “warrior board” of retired generals and other senior personnel who would review the leadership qualities of the officers in question. There’s no re-election effort lingering overhead either, so don’t be shocked if this executive is issued. It’s time to clean house https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2024/11/12/heres-trumps-plan-to-purge-the-pentagon-of-the-woke-brass-n2647695#google_vignette .
