What is a Princeps? Dr. Matt Mehan on the Virtuous Leader
Amen Brother! Been their and done that. Served in Iraq in 2005 and again in 2008.
Combat can very often make deep, deep marks on a man or a woman.
Thank you for telling the truth about how so many in the Pentagon are really paper pushers.
Donovan Campbell’s summation of Pete Hegseth’s character, personality & knowledge related to the job is excellent.
Keep fighting Pete......
All the Pub's better get on board. We need a real American warrior with a brain, not a saint (like anyone in the senate is). It's not like there haven't been appointments of all kinds of fools to different cabinet positions over the decades. What we have in charge now is ridiculous. Pete's intelligent and a fast study, so can learn anything he needs to. Most combat vets don't suffer fools gracefully and have good BS detection, which he will need in this job.
Pete is not corrupt and cannot be corrupted by any LOBBYISTS
I am for pete
I've been praying daily for Pete
He does “wanna” love God? What does that mean?
Amazing how many people know nothing about how the Gov't works or the military. If you weren't there - you know nothing! Period! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
100 percent !!!!
Trump has the full support of Americans. I do believe it was an excellent pic.
On job experience is far more important than, a military run by a book. AWAYS!
Agreed!
So what? First off hes wrong about combat qualified senioroffi ers second if hegseth was active duty he would have been casheired over his conduct towards his wives. And he hold opinions that are contrary to the millitarys policies
God Bless you, thank you for this video!♥🇺🇸💙
With all due respect, most four star generals got last star because of battlefield service. I know one very well who flew over 150 sorties in Vietnam and became a four star because of that. None had alcohol problems or women's issues; that's why they got promoted. Hegseth is honorable but does not have what it takes. Many better options.
I don't doubt that this man has some good thing in his past but I will tell you this he's a severe alcoholic he is an abuser of women, all you have to do is listen to is interviews, too many people around him including his own Mother and his ex-wives have stated that The Man is emotionally unstable and Needs to get Help, so this guy can Talk All Day long and it means Nothing, this man is not qualified nor is he stable enough to be in charge of the largest organization in the world
Pete will do a great job as Secretary of Defense, the people who doubt him are petrified, nothing more!!! The Pentagon and Defense need work to be done NOW!!!! Pete is your Man!!!! There will be people who WILL BE FIRED, that’s what the Major Issue is with the people WHO THINK HE IS NOT A GOOD FIT!!! Pete is a PERFECT FIT!!!! Please please confirm Pete!!! Our Military needs him desperately!!!!!Our country needs him!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He reminds me of Douglas mccarthur general Douglas MacArthur.
We need him to help to get new guys in our military
Pete is ultimate Alpha Male. Sometimes to his detriment, but I would gladly take some of his personal baggage to have him as Secretary of Defense.
Pete all the way!
Thank you for this, I wish everyone could hear this!!! Hopefully the votes will be there for Pete!! 🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏
This is what I thought about Pete Hegseth, no way he is perfect, no one is perfect but God, I watch him every Sunday morning and I loved him, I am sure they are trying to do the same they did to Trump, I pray for him, and let God to work what will be better for him and the people that trust on our President pick
Donovan Campbell should also be considered for a cabinet position....
This dude should have a neighbor check out boys who want to date his daughters because he has terrible judgement.
IF & WHEN President Trump appoints someone, They should get confirmed. The president is putting his life on hold to make America better. Get in line and support our president & his appointees!
U full of it he’ll be kissing Elon Musk‘s ass and he’s a big contractor for the government
It’s not required to have a SECDEF with combat experience. There are far more important requirements, such as having completed as a minimum Senior Service Professional Military Education.
i support pete.
Shat the Generals do is tell some one lioke Pete to push forward in acun fight. Sounds like same Generals in Vietnam. Pete was expendable. His weapon is worth more to military than his life.
What a crock shite... Leaps right over the misogyny, sexual assault, drunkenness... He held a gun then talked on the TV, he's definitely qualified to run the entire military. GTFOOH.
If he was in Bible study then he woukd not know t not judge others. This guy is a remf, Jody and blue falcon.
He beats women and is a drunk. Not qualified.
Awesome subject thank you 👍‼️🆘🇺🇲
Welcome!
What a treasonous traitorous piece of rancid crap you’re military you’re going against the oath you took you’re an officer. What a piece of shot.
Sso
Sso
2000 mules what . . . ?
This man would be a great help to Pete. Hire him as assistant se retry of defense.
Petes not even qualified to the assistant. Give me a break.
Good luck Pete!
Hmmm. I wonder why there's an issue with professional psychological counseling and the hokey idea of faith? I think people of faith should seek counseling if they are experiencing psychological issues. But don't put it on the professionals to have to dumb down their knowledge. Psychologists and psychiatrists are educated and trained And the vast majority are worthwhile empathetic people.
Every one needs to let your Senator know that you support Pete and Trump’s other nominees.
I called McConnell, Thune and Hawley yesterday!
And recruit your friends to let the Senators know you want them to approve Pete Hegseth. Put enough pressure on them and they'll start worrying about losing voters.
Seriously? You boys are unbelievable.
Well... "he loves God" ... I know most people will claim as such, since when is that one of the prerequisites of any job, your life and loving others attests to that. So you must mean, that he believes in the same "form" of religion as you. A free country is free, we don't and have never wanted a dictator.
I'm having a difficult time trying to determine if this is a joke. I guess this guy being interviewed doesn't give a thought to Hegseth's own problems with women and general drunken and malicious public behavior? It's all out there. He must not know.
Most Fox women wont miss him. He’s a sexual predator who used his Army experience to chase women down and attack them. Awarded two battlefield medals…lets see the citations. Wouldn’t be the first time a National Guard captain forged meritorious battlefield medals. That particular NG captain coward forged an Admiral’s signature for one of his Stolen Valor Purple Hearts…the actions of a coward and a traitor.
This is BS. Just about all Generals and Colonels in combat arms have been front-line combat leaders. I’m also not buying the implied BS about the defense industrial complex.
