Hegseth confirmed as Trump’s defense secretary in tie-breaking vote despite turmoil over his conduct

Hegseth will be another disruptor. He doesn't belong to the self-servicing retired general's club, and is not beholden to the military industrial complex. A focus from the top on front line troops is refreshing. He is going to eradicate DEI and bring emphasis on killing the enemy. He will be wildly popular in the ranks. He needs to find the snakes and rats early on though, because there will be behind the scene attempts to neutralize him, especially from SES. He needs good people around him to watch his back.

Me thinks Talyn is talking to you Susan Collins.

In 2020, Sen. Collins voted to confirm all but two of President Joe Biden’s cabinet choices, despite nearly all being unqualified, freaks, a disgrace, or all of the above.

To wit: Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy, who doesn’t know a wart from a watt from an ohm, from a volt—and still doesn’t know how many barrels of oil are produced by American drillers.

Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Health and Human Services, is a lawyer with no health policy experience and an advocate of abortion on demand with no constraints, even in the 9th month.

Pete Buttigieg, formerly an undistinguished mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is Secretary of Transportation, with his only qualifications being that he is gay and loves riding on Amtrak trains.

Rachel (Richard) Levine as assistant health secretary, a man who champions child transgender dysphoria, chemical castration, puberty blockers, and sex change operations on demand.

Merrick Garland, Attorney General, who transformed the DOJ and FBI into a politicized oppression machine, pursuing political opponents, punishing free speech and the right to assembly, demonizing parents attending school board meetings, jailing a 75-year-old pro-life lady praying outside an abortion clinic, and permitting FBI agents to surveil traditional Roman Catholics worshiping the Latin Tridentine Mass, all while lying under oath to Congress.

Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, received a Yes vote from Collins despite coming to DC under a cloud of suspicion and investigation related to EB-5 visas. He has overseen the open borders invasion from some 15 million illegal migrants, including an estimated 13,000 convicted murderers and over 16,000 convicted of sexual assaults, along with drug kingpins and human traffickers, while admitting that 325,000 illegal immigrant minors are unaccounted for.

To top off the list was Collins’s vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court — a lawyer who couldn’t define what a woman is. And just a few weeks ago in Supreme Court oral arguments on transgender surgery, another Collins Yes vote from Barack Obama’s term, Justice Sonia Sotomayor asserted that child mutilation was the same as taking an aspirin.

Senator Collins, with neither judgment nor scorn, you have the moral and intellectual duty to affirm all of President Donald Trump’s cabinet appointees, just as you set your own precedent with approving almost all of Barack Obama’s and Joe Biden’s executive branch selections."

Hayes, do you think the military needs another disrupter? If you need someone to watch your back that's a problem. Military leaders need to work with each other not rat on each other.

A disrupter is exactly what is needed. The military is full of back stabbers and that is why Hegseth needs people he trusts to watch his back. I served in two branches of the military and now work in the D.O.D as a civilian. It's full of fraud, waste and abuse. Time for a shake up and a wake up.
 
Oldgrunt, is the back stabbers the upper echelon or the worker bees? You know that when the upper level of supervision gets disrupted the lower ranks pay the price. It's ok to shake things up but you have to be careful and do it slowly. If its done to fast there will be confusion and total disarray. Sometimes a "purge" is not a good idea and history has proved if done too quickly is detrimental. I also served in 2 branches of military but as we both know some changes need to be done slowly.

I am most concerned about the SES types in the DoD. Many are great people, but many are arrogant enough to believe they are players who run things. Elected officials and appointees, and even senior military leaders, are just temporaries that will go away. We didn't need another SECDEF to just ride the old mare through his tour. We need somebody to break the bronc. I think Hegseth is the right guy, if they don't undermine him. If he fails, Trump will replace him, but the troops will be better off for his efforts.

Military needs to go back to being a fighting machine and not a woke experiment.

separation of powers with a civilian at the helm will foster what the people want.
I’ve met many a military leader who was brilliant and many a military leader who were dumb as a bag of rocks and couldnt command a rubber boat in a bathtub.
Even some Generals of dumb as 💩💩

Sorry to disagree with you, but massive damage has been done. We can't afford to wait for the typical bureaucratic nonsense.
