Qualified candidates typically are eager to serve as the defense secretary’s chief of staff, but sources told NBC News that at least three people have already turned down potential roles supporting Hegseth, and vice president JD Vance and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles have actively gotten involved in the search.

 

So far, though, the administration has not had much luck identifying people who are either willing to work for Hegseth or who fit the bill politically.

 

And the White House has rejected some people Hegseth wants to hire, while Hegseth has rejected some of the White House’s candidates.

Wrong on 2 counts.

I'm just scratching my head at the utterly absurd ignorant comments your great leader makes about so many topics, the sycophancy of his inexperienced, incompetent admin 

Don't you feel embarrassed?

My life is fine, it's Trump's I'm concerned about.

He's 78 but talks like a child. Unfortunately his authoritarian and narcissistic tendencies lead him to employ only sycophants and those with little or no experience. 

So no one of ability wants to serve in his government.

You Trump fanboys are funny. Come on, stick to the topic, why do you think people are turning down working with Pete Hegseth?

Can they not keep up with his drinking, or do they not have enough tattoos?

As if a meme you got from social media accounts feeding you with propaganda could be a meaningful argument! 

 

It's quite pathetic.

Yeah, just look at the sh*t they had to eat to advance under Biden. 

 

Start dressing as a woman and throwing your troops under the bus and get promoted.

 

Officers speaking out against or disparaging the sitting president can, and should be court marshaled under article 66 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
