Trump's extraordinary choice for Defence Secretary

Well, the polls were all wrong about Kamala Harris winning the election. Now all the experts predicting who might become Donald Trump's defence secretary have also been proved hopelessly wrong. Instead of going for a so-called defence heavyweight or at least someone with a huge management experience, Trump has picked out a handsome Fox News host and presenter who certainly looks the part - a younger version of that other glamour boy defence secretary, the late Donald Rumsfeld - but has no knowledge of or experience in masterminding any sort of business, let alone one of the largest organisations in the universe. Pete Hegseth did his stuff for America as a soldier, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, so he knows about military matters but he ain't no general. It's going to be a huge learning curve for him and perhaps an even bigger learning curve for the huge manpower machine, otherwise known as the Pentagon. Good luck to him and good luck to everyone who works in the second largest office building in the world.
