Trump's Defense Pick Faces Scrutiny
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran, as his Secretary of Defense, a decision that has surprised many in the Pentagon and Washington. Critics, including Rep. Dan Goldman, argue that Hegseth lacks the necessary experience to manage the Department of Defense, with its $800 billion budget and nearly three million employees. Hegseth, known for his conservative views and opposition to 'woke' military policies, has served in Iraq and Afghanistan but has no experience leading large organizations. His nomination follows a pattern of Trump's controversial appointments and raises concerns about prioritizing loyalty over qualifications. Supporters highlight Hegseth's combat experience and alignment with Trump's 'America First' policies. The Senate must confirm Hegseth's appointment, where his qualifications and vision will be scrutinized in upcoming hearings.
