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.
They’re better positioned than most to actually do something about it, but they won’t.
Well considering they came out in opposition to Trump and now they’re scrambling to figure out what to do with illegal orders, I really wouldn’t say they’re doing nothing.
We shall see.
