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.
The jury is still out for me on Noem...we will see. But Hegseth is just what we need, IMO. He doesn't have a woke bone in his body. He's extremely intelligent and knows the importance of getting our military back to fighting weight. He's received two bronze stars and is a true patriot. IMO rank should not outweigh ability, courage, strength, transparency, and a willingness to put America first without shame or fear of mainstream retaliation.
Noem sent NG to the border 8 times. President Trump respects action on principle in response to another State.
Hes also former GITMO
