Trump is really making people dreamers (no pun intended). You can be anything you want to be!
You were a major in the army and a “news” anchor? Why don’t you run the whole damn show!

Reposting my comment from some paywalled NYT post. Because fuck.

President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday chose Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to be his next defense secretary, elevating a television ally to run the Pentagon and lead 1.3 million active-duty troops.
The choice of Mr. Hegseth was outside the norm of the traditional defense secretary. But he was a dedicated supporter of Mr. Trump during his first term, defending his interactions with the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, embracing his “America First” agenda of trying to withdraw U.S. troops from abroad and energetically taking up the cause of combat veterans accused of war crimes.
Lol remember when you all did military thing? And were aggressively and blindly defensive of it and its strength?
Fuck you from the still free world.
Remember like two weeks ago when the National Guard wasn't the real military?
Of course, that was when a National Guard veteran was going to just be second in line from commander-in-chief, not defense secretary. Totally different.
Guess Walz’s ANG service wasn’t good enough.
Incredible.
