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.
Just spit balling here on the Hegseth nomination. Generals have a lot of political baggage. You don't make that rank without a lot of connections and certainly any of them will have biases if not outright past favors that are owed. This may or may not be relevant, just stating the obvious.
