The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“Why tattooed Fox News star Pete Hegseth is a genius pick for Trump's Defense Secretary, writes JOSH HAMMER”

SNIP
“Leftist tears have been flowing mightily ever since Trump shocked the world by winning every single swing state in last Tuesday's electoral rout.

But those tears turned into waterfalls after Trump tapped Army veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth to clean out the Augean stables at the bloated, woke-addled Pentagon.

Hegseth received his Bachelor of Arts in politics at Princeton and earned a Master of Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

In 2003, after being commissioned into the Minnesota National Guard and then serving as a platoon leader in Guantanamo Bay, he volunteered for the U.S. Army infantry at the height of the Iraq War.

Hegseth completed tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan, winning two Bronze Stars in the process.

After returning home, he served as executive director of Concerned Veterans for America, a formidable conservative organization that (correctly) opposes reckless military boondoggles and advocates for a restrained — one might say 'America First' — approach to foreign policy.”

I saw a clip yesterday on FOXNews of the Hags on The View. (I thought their show was being yanked) All were hilarious laughing at Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth.
The View Hags even made fun of Pete Hegseth name.

Apparently the View Hags have little knowledge of his qualifications.
Pete Hegseth is a favorite of mine on FOXNews. I’ve seen where he voice his disdain of our military going WOKE and more.
Anyhow, good choice President Elect Trump.
