How is it possible that this man can actually get confirmed??? I’m more qualified than he is.

You are absolutely correct it's not only disrespectful it's irresponsible and it will lead to the dismantling of the military process and demise of many service members. We are witnessing the destruction of our country.

a sign that we are now an oligarchy dictatorship.

Take a look at Mark Cuban’s take on the line of questions at today’s hearing. He’s spot on.

I fear that when I see who joins militia groups and who participates in domestic terrorism, a great number of both the military and law enforcement are more loyal to trump than they are to the Constitution.

They will do what trump tells them to do. It won't matter if it's legal or not.

I feel so bad for our military

Agreed…hegspeth is deplorable!

Also, the military cares about good leadership! I can’t imagine most of the military being happy about this.

He will be there to destroy, not to manage well and not to improve but to dismantle. That's what all of mango Mussolini's picks are to do, kiss his traitor ass and destroy

I see a lot of senior (experienced) leadership retiring. I hope some remain as guardrails.

Also the US army won’t be able to recruit decent soldiers. The militia will consist of the Jan 6 crowd he pardons and the KKK from the south. All willing to shoot any American citizen just for the “rittenhouse” fun of it

Grew up on Canadian army bases. Dad fought in Korean War. Was a proud soldier with a sense of strict code & decorum. He hated trump. Actually cracked a vertebra air-punching the tv when his putrid face was flinging lies again. He’d roll over in his honourable grave if he heard this crap-so dangerous

Don’t R Senators even have enough self-interest to worry about their own safety & that of their families if an unqualified person is allowed to run the Pentagon?

May those volunteers have the courage and wisdom to refuse an order to turn their arms on fellow citizens exercising their constitutional rights to peacefully assemble and exercise freedom of speech. A legitimate concern given the past and yesterday's litany of deflection.

I wasn't alive for Vietnam but this moment seems objectively worse on so many levels.

“It's about not being competent. I asked him to name three different ways that a secretary of defense actually negotiates national security or security treaties with our allies. And he couldn't name a single one of them.”
