pick and why?

Based upon your military experience, please tell me who is more qualified and why? Thanks

Hegseth cuz he's never disappeared from job for days as Defense Sec w/out telling anyone like Austin
BOOM!
Lloyd Austin is least qualified for sure. He needs a special waiver to bypass the law in order to
become secretary of DoD. That means by law he was not even eligible for that DoD job. Congress of both chambers had to have special legislation solely for him to bypass the law.
He is the least qualified because his civilian life is too short. 4 years, geeze. Most of us here are 4 times, 5 times more than him. When Truman drafted the legislation to create DoD back then, he did not care about the military background of the secretary, or at least weren’t concerned enough to address the issue in the legislation. Civilian experience matters much more militarily one for this job.
But what Austin's 4-year civilian life looks like? The board member of defense contractor. He represented special interest group, nothing else.
You mean as opposed to the wealth of inappropriate and irrelevant civilian experience that
Hegseth has?
Hegseth! I associate Austin with the Afghanistan rout and the DEI emasculation of our military.

Yep. Austin was a stooge, and was not qualified for the job.

How was he not qualified? If he wasn’t qualified, by what standard is Hegseth?

Really? Do you associate Hegseth with mismanagement of a small foundation, no experience with a
large agency, inappropriate drunken behavior and not washing his hands for 10 years?
There’s a reason Secretary Austin was confirmed 93-2 by the Senate.
In his cabinet selections, President Biden appointed experienced professionals who understood the enormity of their posts and their duties to the nation and our Constitution.
There's a reason President Trump was confirmed in a landslide by the American citizens. BOOM!

He's the guy who disappeared for major surgery and didn't tell anyone, right?
(no message)
Is that the reason?

Prostate surgery I believe.
Nobody at the Pentagon or White House had any idea where he was.
Is that the Fox News version?

Yep. He went AWOL from his job without a peep to anybody- the Biden Defense Secretary.

Not quite drama Queen. His deputy knew, staff knew but not the White House.

Should the Board be censoring this type of misinformation?
