You don’t think a fox news host is a great SecDef? Or a non-practicing briefly disbarred AG?

- notahacker 2y agoTbf successfully avoiding prosecution for white collar crime is a credential in understanding the law, sorta...
- mminer237 2y agoChild sex trafficking and statutory rape are not what I consider white collar crime.
- briandear 2y agoSeriously stop. He’s a decorated combat veteran with 20 years in the military and two Ivy League degrees.
- defrost 2y agoIndeed. As concerning as this appointment is the US should worry more about where Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock are appointed.
- hipadev23 2y agoHe absolutely has not been “in” for 20 years. Someone will publish his actual record between active duty, active reserve, and inactive reserve. He was in the National Guard as a basic infantry officer. No ranger tab, no SF, hell not even airborne, so let’s stop acting like he’s a badass. He’s perfectly qualified for leading a company-sized unit. That’s it. He has, in aggregate, around 4-5 years of experience as a junior officer. Most of his time is IRR which has ~zero [1] obligations and is basically just a higher priority draft list for former military. I know you know all of this, of course, and you’re either defending him in bad faith or pure ignorance, so I’m mostly replying for the benefit of others.
