(6,059 posts)He gave his dog tags, medals, and collar devices to us kids to play with; and never once made a fuss about being a veteran. Never thought it was something that made him better than others. (I remember there was only one thing that worried him about his Army days. He was a PFC, and they made him an acting Sergeant for a few months, which included a $5 a month salary bump. When they put him back to PFC they forgot to cancel the 5$ salary. To the day he died, he was always a little bit worried that the government was going to come after him for that money, plus interest. They never did.)
My Dad was a veteran, and a great guy in every sense. But that alone wouldn't qualify him to be the SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, and he'd be the first one to admit it. Which is what any SANE person would do.
The thing that bothers me about Hegseth, and MOST of Trump's nominees is that THEY'RE NOT QUALIFIED for these jobs, but they can't see it! That alone is a disqualification.
If I got on an airliner, and the owner of the airline company came out, put a Captain's hat on me, and said "How'd you like to be the PILOT for this flight?" The first thing I'd say wouldn't be "Gee, what an honor! Thanks, I'd be happy to fly the plane." No, the first thing I'd say would be "Are you CRAZY? I've never flown a plane in my life. I'd get us all KILLED before we even left the runway!" Again, that's what any sane, rational person would do.
These Trump Administration jack-offs are the greatest example I've ever seen of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. They're thoroughly unqualified for these jobs, but they're too stupid to realize it. And so are Trump's supporters.
