Confirming a Battle-Worn Soldier to Lead the DoD

In his first official role as Vice President, JD Vance cast the deciding vote for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
 
Despite all the roadblocks Democrats put up against him, and despite the actions of three RINO fossils, Hegseth is now positioned to clean up the damage that his predecessor created following the orders of a demented old man by repairing those disasters.

No one has a problem anyone questioning Secretary Hegseth for the issues which came to light during the last two months. But the hypocrisy that some Senators showed was amazing.

What characters of virtue do any of these people have more than others? They are no more qualified than any of us to hold their special positions, other than they has financial backing and support to get elected.

Does Senator Warren or Senator Murkowski hold some moral high ground to which we are not aware? They both have skeletons and misdeeds they buried in their closets.

And how about it, Senator Kaine? Was it morally acceptable that it was OK to run as Vice President with the Benghazi Backstabber who deleted 33,000 emails? Or, how about petulant Moscow Mitch? Was he always pure and saintly? There is no halo atop his head.

No. These Senators had no business asking the questions they did. So self-righteously? None had the right to pick up the stone and throw it. But they did.

Fortunately, fifty Senators looked at themselves and realized they were not without sin and decided they were no better than Hegseth to not vote for him. And the Vice President agreed with them.

The Secretary promised to begin fixing and cleaning up the nightmare caused by the last administration. He, at least, deserves a chance to prove himself capable.

And knowing what President Trump expects, he will be held accountable fairly quickly. His  first order of business is to evaluate those presently in the highest positions and reset the morale of all who serve

Just like the Congress, the decay in leadership on the Armed Services must be cleansed and removed immediately.
