What's your experience? I've in in five different industries in six different counties. 

Doesn't matter, according to you experience doesn't count. Except when you want it to count judging by your posts

Shouldn't you be correcting papers?

I guess Austin and all the other creeps who were SecDef did a great job huh?  Trillions wasted on programs and weapon systems that do not work?  WARs that we ran away from....wasted 58K young men in Vietnam for nothing and IRAG and Afghanistan...trillions wasted.  Thank God Trump wants to change that nightmare!

 

Secretary Austin is certainly better qualified than the nominee, and saw more direct combat action too. You dismiss  other secretaries of defense as creeps. Maybe some of them were, but that does not justify appointing another "creep", or more accuratelynan unqualified candidate.   The secretary of defense did not "waste" anyone's life in Vietnam. The responsibility for the Vietnam war rests with United States government and its  people's  belief in the. communist domino theory. Nor did the Secretary of Defense initiate the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Trup is not changing anything. He is appointing a yes man with no demonstrated management skills or senior leadership capabilities.

Please point out how the military has improved during Austin's tenure.

Back in reality, it was caused by empty reservoirs, unmaintanied forests and a fire department that had it's budget cut, whose remaining staff had been selected on their immutable characteristics rather than their ability to do the job.

The reality is you are just rehashing conspiracy theory nonsense from behind a keyboard and likely never set foot anywhere near those places affected by fires.

Pete Hegseth has been accused of chanting "kill all Muslims" during a work event at a bar

 

More "common sense " thinking?

 

I mean who among us hasn't done this at a happy hour after getting excessively drunk with your coworkers, ammirite.

 

And you wonder why when people go postal at work they single out certain coworkers for retribution? 😀

 

 

The slang term "postal" refers to someone becoming extremely angry, aggressive, or violent, often in a sudden and uncontrollable way. The term originates from incidents in the 1980s and 1990s where U.S. postal workers were involved in workplace shootings, leading to the phrase "going postal."

 

Example Usage:

"He totally went postal when his computer crashed."

"Don't go postal over something so small!"

It’s often used humorously or hyperbolically to describe someone losing their

temper.

Well, I guess we'll have a chance to see how well Hegseth does now that he's been confirmed.
