Summary
Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, a Fox News presenter with minimal managerial experience, as defense secretary has stunned the Pentagon.
Hegseth has been a vocal critic of the military, calling for a purge of generals and questioning the appointment of Gen. Charles Brown as chair of the joint chiefs of staff.
Hegseth’s nomination is seen as a boost for the far right in Israel, as he has shown support for territorial expansion and suggested the construction of a new temple on the Temple Mount.
It’s a civilian job and most SecDefs weren’t generals. A lot weren’t even in the military. They tend to not be foxnews fuckwits though.
The vast majority were, at least recent ones.
And at least one star, I believe.
