Kentucky's ruling Turtle and other RINO traitors failed in their sad and dishonest effort to stop a patriot, combat vet warfighter from becoming Secretary of Defense. They were more than happy to vote for the last corporate establishment DEI hire, but not Pete. Good thing JDV broke the 50/50 senatorial tie. Here's what the Turtle, the Alaskan Witch, and others voted against, Hegseth's vision, via GP:
It is the privilege of a lifetime to lead the warriors of the Department of Defense, under the leadership of our Commander in Chief Donald J. Trump. We will put America First, and we will never back down.
The President gave us a clear mission: achieve Peace through Strength. We will do this in three ways — by restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military, and reestablishing deterrence.
o We will revive the warrior ethos and restore trust in our military. We are American warriors. We will defend our country. Our standards will be high, uncompromising, and clear. The strength of our military is our unity and our shared purpose.
o We will rebuild our military by matching threats to capabilities. This means reviving our defense industrial base, reforming our acquisition process, passing a financial audit, and rapidly fielding emerging technologies. We will remain the strongest and most lethal force in the world.
o We will reestablish deterrence by defending our homeland — on the ground and in the sky. We will work with allies and partners to deter aggression in the Indo-Pacific by Communist China, as well as supporting the President’s priority to end wars responsibly and reorient to key threats. We will stand by our allies — and our enemies are on notice.
All of this will be done with a focus on lethality, meritocracy, accountability, standards, and readiness.
I have committed my life to warfighters and their families. Just as my fellow soldiers had my back on the battlefield, know that I will always have your back. We serve together at a dangerous time. Our enemies will neither rest nor relent. And neither will we. We will stand shoulder to shoulder to meet the urgency of this moment.
Like each of you, I love my country and swore an oath to defend the Constitution. We will do that each and every day, as one team. Together we will accomplish the President’s mission to deter war, and if necessary, defeat and destroy our enemies. Godspeed!
I don't know about you, but I'd say that's right on the money. No. More. Rainbow. Garbage. A young Sergeant's pretty pumped up about it.
Godspeed, Mr. Hegseth,
LSP

"passing a financial audit,"
What a concept!
Aside from the soap-opera virtue-signalling that the Democrats engaged in during the Hearings, does anybody really believe that Hegseth was the most qualified person in the US to lead the Pentagon? He may have been a soldier with a good record and a popular spokesman for the Israel Lobby on Faux News; but he's never commanded anything larger than an infantry squad and never run a large enterprise---especially not one in as bad a need of an overhaul as the Pentagon.
Ed, remarkable, ain't it.
Let's see how he does, NW, vote's out.
So we have an E4 as Veep and an actual Major as the SecDef. And a Lt Colonel elsewhere in the staff. All who have actually 'seen the elephant' as they say.
This is going to be the most pro-military anti-military industrial complex administration in modern times.
Good on Pete for not backing out of the process once spurious claims started popping up. Good on Vance for casting the deciding vote.
And, no, I'm not tired of winning yet.
I know a National Guardsman who is smiling today.
With all due respect, by those standards, Milley and Austin would qualify. If we keep on doing what we've been doing, we'll keep on getting what we've got. Hegseth could hardly do any worse than those two.
Makes one proud to be a veteran.
You all be safe and God bless.
Name someone better.
Oh, wait a minute.
It's not your choice.
