Indeed - the job of the SecDef is not to be the best officer for the same reason the job of a general officer is not to be the best rifleman.
You want a SecDef who is thinking about the political dimensions of conflict and managing the massive DoD bureaucracy.

historically, secdefs have *not* been generals, and indeed generals need a congressional waiver to become secdef! but we have deluded ourselves into thinking that war should be "left to the professionals."

The Trump administration has chosen to forget that airpower provides no way to force a favorable peace.

2 years of acting ptdo SECDEF tata it is then
I’ve said it before but the only path to a DOD-Congress political ceasefire is Mike Rogers (R-AL) SECDEF tenure.
The thing is i don’t even know who Trump can offer up that can get confirmed because republicans *also* hate Hegseth and OSD

Looking forward to seeing SecDef Hegseth in front of a House committee that includes Admiral Lacore.

Senator Hegseth is better than SecDef Hegseth. He won't be able to murder fishermen or order forced testosterone testing for all his colleagues.

Interim-SecDef Rubio, he will also be Interim-CJCS. He will personally lead jump into Cuba. They will make an example out of him.

Trump will need a scapegoat for this. Remember, he's never at fault ever. Hegseth's days as SECDEF can now be measured in double digits, I think.

The thing about Hegseth is that even Reps within the armed committees hate him. All the hearings have turned into him blowing off all of them left and right. Idk what they are going to do the Cheese boy but I hope it is equally as painful.

Replacing him with someone else who isn’t qualified just like the current incompetent SecDef isn’t going to fix the problems in the Pentagon.

If he isn't our POTUS in 2028, Mark Kelly would be a hell of a good choice for SecDef. Just sayin.

Getting shot down in Vietnam from your job ferrying chemical weapons, breaking "it all," and then in 2026 the secdef tells everybody that you're too female to be in the army, but you vote for him anyway. I think at that point they should officially revoke your human status. You are now a lichen
