DAVID MARCUS: GOP trio missed the whole point of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegsetth passed through his confirmation of the Senate on Friday and became New US Defense MinisterBut we should not thank the Republican senators Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins.

For all three long -standing senators from the establishment and against Trump, the main remark of Hegseth to enter the lead in Pentagon was that they believe that he lacked a prerequisite experience for running a mammoth organization. Here’s how Murkowski said this in the X post: “Management of the Ministry of Defense requires great experience and expertise, since the department is one of the most complex and powerful organizations in the world, and the previous Mr Hegsetha roles in his career do not show for me that he is ready for me vast responsibility. “

It doesn’t matter that Hegseth was educated at Princeton and Harvard and served in the US Army for more than a decade. Forget that the act of the Major came as he served on a tour in Afghanistan. And ignore that he is a published author who led the veterans’ organization. The problem for these senators was that Hegseth lacked traditional accreditation that he had worked for a defense entrepreneur, just that type that has been trapped in the awakened agent in the last two decades, promised to eliminate Hegsetth.

Republicans responded to the certificate of Pete Hegseth for the Minister of Defense: ‘He is an agent of change’

Let’s take the last Trump Minister Defense, an extremely qualified Mark Esper. Like Hegsetha, Esper served in the army, but after leaving the active service, he had a number of high -profile jobs in the legislators, the Chamber of Commerce and eventually as Vice President of the Raytheon Defense Company.

This is exactly what a resume was sought by McConnell, Murkowski and Collins. Esper is a type of type that receives 90 votes to confirm, as it did in 2019, but in the preparation of that corporate biography he looked at the other side because the institutions he served accepted Wakeness and Dei.

Here’s what Shanda Hinton, Chief of Diversity Raytheon Technologies, said 2023: “Improving diversity, equality and involvement is more than a goal – this is our duty and key element of our ESG strategy. This recognition only encourages us to continue to push the creation of a generational change. “

It was a mild cowardice of the old Republican party, who was always afraid that the left was calling them if they did not pretend that men could become women, and America is a deep racist country.

I do not try to claim that Esper is a kind of Ibram X Kendi when it comes to things like a critical racial theory. But obviously he looked at the other side as these perverse progressive ways of thinking took a swing.

It was a mild cowardice of the old Republican party, who was always afraid that the left was calling them if they did not pretend that men could become women, and America is a deep racist country. But now is the time for courage. That’s why Hegsetth is a real man for this moment. While Mark Espers stood aside as the dei programs and vigilance infected the military and defensive industry, Hegsetth wrote books on the left -wing institutional capture of our armed forces and schools.

Former weekend leader “Fox & Friends” may have never been a major suit in a large corporation, but all these companies were companies in merit policies based on merit and promised to interrupt Hegsetth during a hearing in Senate.

In a very real sense, Hegsetth is qualified because he is not “qualified”. Almost anyone who marks the frames required by McConnell, Murkowski and Collins would come from the same swamp of a group opinion that made our army weaker on behalf of diversity.

The Americans voted for Trump for a large part because they know that Democrats have gone crazy in the cultural war. We do not want men in women’s sports and we want an army aimed at deadly, not political correctness.

If Hegsetth ends over his head, we will know that very quickly and I will be happy to apologize to his twins slander on the Republican side of the Senate passage, but very unlikely that will happen, and how tall is the slats are when Biden Defsec Lloyd Austin is just disappeared for a few days and no one cares?

Hegsetth has the opportunity to fix the army in the way Trump wants because the American people chose Trump to do just that.

The elections, they say, have consequences, and the Ministry of Defense led by Hegsetth is a great consequence for those who want merit, honesty and competencies in the military. It’s a shame, but it’s not surprising that Collins, McConnell and Murkowski couldn’t see it. Fortunately, Vance made sure that their wrong opinions do not fit the path of real changes in the pentagon.
