While a combat veteran and experienced communicator, Hegseth is by far the least qualified SECDEF in the history of the office. He'll need the strongest supporting cast imaginable in the Pentagon. Deeply difficult times ahead for DOD youtu.be/zkNt-vIotWw?... via @YouTube - ThreadSky

I was senior military assistant to one SECDEF and worked very closely with several others of both political parties. The burdens of the office are immense. Done right, the job requires great leadership & management skills - and enormous personal integrity.

What debacles should we expect and how best to respond so that the fewest lives are lost or ruined?
This is all I can think about. That and my two sons.

Right

Like his boss, you can count on the new Sec of Defense to scapegoat his senior staff for his mistakes.

nerdbro3000.bsky.social•37 days ago

Of course it’s not clear that Hegseth has any of those qualities…

epukane.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s abundantly clear he has absolutely none of them.

Thank you again for speaking out, Admiral!

A sound-bite / photo-op oriented SECDEF is... terrifying.

I hope the JSC have the ability to hold a no confidence vote, should it be necessary.

"Done right, the job requires great leadership & management skills - and enormous personal integrity."
Pete Hegseth doesn't have any of these things, as has been repeatedly shown.
That's the primary reason Trump chose him.

Let's not mince words. The staffers will be carrying him as their extra load. They’ll be doing most of the work if not all of it. He’ll just be the poster boy. Ultimately, it will be DJT making all the decisions for him. He can’t refuse, or he’ll be easily replaced by another Yes Sir loyalist.

Truly pathetic. A slap in the face to the military and to the USA.

With an incompetent elderly Commander in Chief slipping into dementia and an alcoholic Sec. of Defense whose incompetence and lack of experience mirrors his boss, pray we don't go to war or we will be in for a world of hurt. Cuz let's face it Admiral, militaries don't win when they're leaderless.

Hegseth will get rid of anyone that disagrees with him. Will Hegseth handle the Pentagon or will the Pentagon handle Hegseth?

starbright489.bsky.social•34 days ago

Will Hegseth remain functional & cool-headed under the pressures of the job, or dissolve into alcoholic personal contemplation & inaction?

Absolute madness

If you're interested in sharing, I would love to hear some of the implications you anticipate, admiral.

gowestdixie.bsky.social•37 days ago

I wouldn't call someone who works on Fox an experienced communicator. He's a white supremacist, nothing more.

Disgusting Disgrace!!!!
