I'm trying to understand these picks.
Kristi Noem is extremely pro israel, going so far as to pass anti-hate speech laws which IMO goes against the 1st amendment.
I don't have any issue specifically with Pete Hegseth but I do wonder why he would pick a major to be Secretary of Defense instead of a general, especially if we know there are good generals out there that aren't just for show like Mark Milley.
maybe he does not trust any generals.....
He trusted some generals when he took out ISIS, I remember that story he told when they said he went over there and they told him it'd only take a few weeks to deal with ISIS vs the years long time frame someone told him in Washington.
Edit: Source of Trump talking about the generals
Though he does describe them as "central casting" but considering they delivered I think this is him saying they looked good not that they're fake generals.
