Hegseth must put US before Trump. I'm not sure he can

If Pet Higesha can ensure that the enemies of our nation understand the losers to counter the US military, they can be able to keep us safe.

Pat Hegast, whose Senate confirmed the Defense Minister in 51-50 votes on Friday night, Vice President JD Venus broke the tie, taking over the Pentagon’s leadership at a tremendous turmoil worldwide. Let’s hope, for the sake of our nation, that it is ready for work.

I am torn on the hegast. He is a well -educated, patriotic and seems to be our most powerful asset, to remove weakness (and awareness) from the US military. $ 850 billion Machine machine 3.3 million personnel.

Nevertheless, the role of Higesh is a question mark. He faces allegations of sexual abuse, domestic abuse and alcohol at work.

I wish Trump had chosen experienced with more ability and low scandals, but he did not.

There are powers of Higesh – but serious problems

Hegseth a Experienced 20 -year -old Army National GuardAuthor and cable television host. He studied in Harvard and Princeton. He is a patriot who loves the United States and was awarded two bronze stars for his military services.

During the hearing of the Senate verification of Hegseth Last week, he emphasized his dedication from the army to remove “awareness” and bring back the “war culture”. These are very important steps, but it will be difficult to eliminate details about meeting them.

I also agree with the controversial view that women should be limited to frontline combat roles.

“War, deadly, ability, quality and preparation. That’s my job.” Hegseth said in his initial statement On January 14 to the Senate Armed Services Committee. So far, great.

But the Democrats worked hard to expose a different aspect of Hegast, hosted by a former “Fox and Friends Week End”. He questioned him on charges of sexual abuse and heavy alcohol. In a recent affidavit, Higesh’s former bhahabi claims that he angered and abused his ex -wife. (Hegstens have denied the allegations.)

Nevertheless, Higesh’s nomination survived the verification process. And he succeeded in doing. Get the support of Iowa Republican San Jonny Ernest.An experienced and sexual assault and a survivor of domestic violence, which was seen as a potential vote against verification.

The world is now a particularly dangerous place.

I want to give Hegast a chance. It has the spirit of defending the United States and has the real world experience in the sense of serving as a warrior.

But Military, Medal of Honor Recipient Army Staff Sergeant. David Belovia said in a Viral speech 2019 In the Pentagon, “Cable News Gab Fest should not be as wrong as the show.” Belvia will know. He found the Silver Star after the Second World War in Iraq in 2004, and Trump upgraded him in the Medal of Honor in 2019.

It is ironic that Trump will nominate a former talk show host a few years later as a defense minister.

Belvia then said that the US military has been added to a “deadly moving parts machine that you will have to be wise to avoid if you know what is good for you.”

Boy, do I hope he is right. Because the world is now dangerously unstable.

In a recent interview, Eurasia Group President, Ian Bremer, said, “I think so. Since then geographically the most dangerous period Either the 30s, before World War II, or the early Cold War, before the Cuban missile crisis. This is a world where the powerful they do what they want and the weak have to do what they need to do. “

Terrible wars. In AfricaEurope and the Middle East show that this is true.

Thanks, Bremer also said that the United States is in a good position. For now: “America is politically, economic, technically and militarily stronger than all its allies.”

However, we must be alert. As if Artificial intelligence and drone war In advance, it is important that the United States maintain our technical benefit. Trump, Hegest and Congress must work hard to ensure that the army of our nation is ready for the current and future dangers.

The Pentagon will lead the Higesh international crisis and rapid technical change. Both are very big challenges.

Can Hegest America keep the United States ahead of Trump?

Nevertheless, Higesha will have to overcome another major challenge – to put America’s needs forward on Trump’s personal demand. Which can prove to be the biggest obstacle.

I hope that Hegest will never be in a position where he should choose between Trump’s desire and the security requirements of our nation. But if he has to choose, he has to keep the United States first.

“We won’t be scared,” staff sergeant. Belvia said in his 2019 speech. “We will not back down. We have seen war. We do not want war. But if you want war with the United States, I can promise one thing to you, so help God: Someone else will raise your sons and daughters.“

I hope the rest of the world see the US military in the coming years. This is our sure way to peace.

If Pet Higesha can ensure that the enemies of our nation understand the losers to counter the US military, they can be able to keep us safe.

For our sake, let’s expect and pray that they can get up on this occasion.
