So I am qualified to be SecDef, because I am a veteran? That is ridiculous. Of all the reasonable qualifications, that ranks just about dead last.

  Where did I say he was qualified? Certainly not here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42139373 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42139373 No, I'm just pointing out that there are a lot of people who are hyperventilating so hard about Trump's election that their capacticy for honesty reasoning appears to be greatly diminished.

    What was your intent in pointing out that he was a veteran, if not to counter the claim that he was wholly unqualified for the position of SecDef?

      C'mon guy, you seem smart. Use your brain and I bet you can answer your own question. Here's a hint: all else equal, I'd rather have you than a random non-vet in the role.
