Well the current Sec. of Def. is a retired 4 star,this guy rose to Major w/a couple bronze stars,but the Fox thing is a hint to his ideology and yeah military service is no end all look at Gen Flynn,he went off the rails. Most all Orange's choices are outside the box,Rubio is the least controversial,Gaetz is absolutely maddening,this guy I'll reserve judgement.You get what you vote for and a majority of our nation voted for retribution straight up and I sure as hell aren't looking at this through rose colored glasses,myself and my state MA voted blue though the margins surprised me even here. I'm not expecting much but I respect those who've served and I hope this guy is somewhat competent that's all,I'm not saying I like it,these 4 yrs. will be a rocky ride as the standards voters hold politicians to has dropped to shocking(IMO) levels.
