apnews.com What to know about Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick to serve as defense secretary

Donald Trump has selected a military veteran and popular conservative media personality with a large following of his own.

“America’s white sons and daughters are walking away, and who can blame them,” he writes in “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.”

That might be the single most Anglo-Saxon thing I've ever heard.

I've never heard of this guy. Is he literally just a Fox News anchor?
- He is or was a major, and i think it was in the national guard. However he did also say on his fox show that he hadn't washed his hands in 10 years because germs aren't real since he can't see them.
  
  Fully qualified for the Trump administration then.
  
  Somebody please buy the man a microscope.
- No, he's also s Trump knob slobber and thats the only qualification apparently
"White sons and daughters are walking away" - first of all, "white?", WTF? - and second, didn't he also say that women have no place in the military? Nail down your idiocy and stop wobbling all over the place.
