Josh Allen is too smart to take on a job that he is unqualified for.  He's one of the best in the world at his current job.  Why would he change?  Hegseth has never been the best in the world at anything including the job of disinformation presenter on Faux news.  I can see why he wants a job he's unqualified for but not why anyone would want him.  Unless the person hiring wanted a yes man...

I won't repost the picture but my niece just posted a shot of her and Sec. Hegseth.  She is stationed over in the Philippines' where he just had a tour.

 

The troops really respect what he is doing.

 

send her this article

That’s Hegseth’s predicament. He clearly cares about troops. He clearly made a mistake. But now he’s a part of U.S. military leadership, and the onus is on him to show integrity and accountability he's so recently demanded. If he does not handle his next steps well, then the leader who argued the loudest about removing double standards from the Pentagon will set a dangerous double standard.

Because everyone knows that any “normal dude” who did what Hegseth did would face immediate consequences. In fact, Hegseth’s subordinates launched an investigation on March 21 that promised if anyone is found “responsible for an unauthorized disclosure,” then the individual “will be referred to the appropriate criminal law enforcement entity for criminal prosecution.”

Hegseth himself said in 2016, discussing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server: “Any security professional — military, government or otherwise — would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.” Yet the attorney general said on Thursday that there is not likely to be an investigation into the administration's breach of security protocols.

Army Faces 20 Percent Cut in Size As Trump's Strategic Focus Shifts From Europe to Asia

The Army plans to reduce its active-duty force by as many as 90,000 troops as the Trump administration requires Pentagon budget cuts and shifts its strategic focus from Europe and Third World counterinsurgency operations to confronting Chinese expansion.

 

This comes on the heels of Biden reducing the Army by 24,000 in 2024 to cover up the recruiting disaster

Yep, you want Hegseth as your QB, Signaling the defense about the upcoming play.

Hasn't aged well.

I'd say the play was a touchdown

'What Peace Through Strength Looks Like'—Hegseth
Visits Panama Canal, Vows to End China's Influence

by Bob Hoge

 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Panama Canal Tuesday and had some tough talk for China, which the Trump administration has repeatedly argued has way too much influence over the crucial U.S.-built waterway. The U.S. will not allow any country to threaten the canal, Hegseth vowed: I want to be very clear—China did not build this canal, China does not operate this canal, and China will not weaponize this canal. Together with Panama in the lead, we will keep the canal secure and available for all nations through the deterrent power of the strongest, most effective, and most lethal fighting force in the world.

Military Recruitment Numbers Are Breaking Records Under Trump and Hegseth

Matt Margolis

 

Under President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the U.S. military has seen an extraordinary surge in recruitment, reflecting a renewed sense of pride and purpose. Data shared on Fox News' “Fox & Friends” reveals that the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Space Force have far exceeded recruitment goals, driven by the administration’s focus on restoring military strength.

 

Host Brian Kilmeade highlighted the figures.

"The Army, Air Force, and Marines—you are up 108% in November, 119% in February, 108% after the election, 105% with the Navy, with the Marines up 112%, and 100%. They are through the roof. The US Air Force, 100% of its goal. Same thing in February, and Space Force is also booming, over 100%." These numbers signal a significant enlistment boom.

 

“I think the war fighters are happy to have a war fighter up top,” Kilmeade observed. “Mr. Secretary, with all this controversy, everything swirling around, have you ever doubted your decision to take this job?”

 

“Oh, not for a minute. I didn't hesitate when the president asked me, and I haven't hesitated for a moment because those numbers are a reflection of why we're here,” Hegseth replied. “We call it the Trump bump internally. The reality is, when war fighting and lethality is brought back, and it's serious that what we're doing here is serious about getting after soldiering and war fighting, the American people wanna come back in.”

Someone claimed it started before the election.  Any truth to that?

It's fake news until proven otherwise.  That's what you get for perpetrating one of the biggest lies in American political history.
