Then you should know that new weapon systems; including the ones you speak of, are developed everyday. Why do you think Lockheed is doing, making paper airplanes? Then take years to implement, pay for and deliver. By that time Hegseth will be long gone from the Pentagon.
Hegseth only job that he was selected for is to do what they are doing now. Get rid of all of the DEI and other stuff Chump deems need to go. Hegseth was not selected to run the US armed forces like that position requires.
Thanks. By obsolete I thought you meant they are no longer of use. Their value is declining, but still useful against Iran, possibly Mexican cartels, and other enemies.
We currently have ten (10!) aircraft carriers on order (link 1). At the same time we know full well that China, Russia and Iran all have hypersonic missiles that can take them out (link 2). And today's hypersonics are Mach 5 (a bullet from a rifle flies at Mach 3). This will soon increase to Mach 10 and some of the development is being done at a Purdue/ND joint lab facility (link 3).

Looks like we have hypersonic weapons in the works. What’s your point?We currently have ten (10!) aircraft carriers on order (link 1). At the same time we know full well that China, Russia and Iran all have hypersonic missiles that can take them out (link 2). And today's hypersonics are Mach 5 (a bullet from a rifle flies at Mach 3). This will soon increase to Mach 10 and some of the development is being done at a Purdue/ND joint lab facility (link 3).

Can Iran's Missiles Send U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers Underwater?
Here’s What You Need to Remember: The Khalij Fars has one-quarter the DF-21’s range at 190 to 220 miles, and relatedly doesn’t fly as high or fast, with a lower maximum speed of Mach 3 as it plunges towards its target. Thus the Khalij Fars would likely prove easier to intercept with defensive...
US gets wind tunnel to test hypersonic power at 10 times speed of sound
The Mach 10 quiet wind tunnel of University of Notre Dame can simulate hypersonic flight at higher speeds and benefit scientists working in this field.
Repeat for the retard: "We currently have ten (10!) aircraft carriers on order."
Trump wants someone who is not a toady for the mil/industrial/war machine establishment like Austin was.
I was not accusing you of using DEI. In "ANY" appointment or hire things may or may not work out and that can happen whether the person in question has a litany of various accomplishments that no doubt some would weigh differently. When things don't work out and the person does not fall inside the DEI group (If DEI is at a time of usage), then that person can be considered a bad hire...a bad choice, and perhaps a surprise since the hire or appointment was considered a good one. Inside DEI when things don't work out it is inevitable that thoughts occur that the best person was not sought since the DEI cloud is overhead. Relative to DEI, this is what I have tried to express many times.
Wow, no idea we were flirting with Mach 10!!!!We currently have ten (10!) aircraft carriers on order (link 1). At the same time we know full well that China, Russia and Iran all have hypersonic missiles that can take them out (link 2).

Ok. So you say that Pete is being hired on merit but you have no "relative knowledge" of his previous work in the private sector........other than his hosting duties on Fox, which I assume you know about.
And not because he is qualified for that position, correct? I thought merit was important to you folks.
Where was all of this questioning about credentials when Biden made Swift Boat Kerry the Climate Czar, Word Salads Harris the Border Czar, the mayor of South Bend the Sec of Transportation and Jennifer Granholm the Sec of Energy?
This is false equivalences on steroids. Those folks that you mentioned qualifications are comparable to their predecessors. Just because you do not like someone doesn't mean that they are not qualified.

The false equivalence is on you. Hegseth has a vastly greater background in the Dept of Defense than Mayor Pete had in transportation or Gennifer Granholm had in energy. In college, Pete majored in history and literature. Throughout his career he did not have one day of experience in any industry or government agency concerned with aviation, automotive or anything else touching on transportation.
Again false equivalences. I'm talking about Mayor Pete and others qualifications for the same position, in Mayor Pete's case Sec of Transportation. Mayor Pete as we know was Mayor of South Bend, IN. Chump's Sec of Transportation selection is Sean Duffy. I'm not going to get into whether he is qualified or not. But I mentioned Duffy to show that Pete's qualifications are at least comparable to Chump's pick for the same position. Duffy was a US Congressman, Marketing major, and member of a 90s MTV reality show, Real World.
His top qualification is loyalty to the nation, not to the defense industry like Austin.
Nope. Hegseth’s top qualification is his loyalty to Chump and the Cosa Nostra that Chump has embraced.
This is why a forthright, rational discussion isn't possible here. Riveting presented factual data and you countered with hate and nonsense.
Lol. You're right. When you tout riveting's opinions as facts it's hard to have a conversation.
You think presidents pick cabinet members who will not be loyal?
Joining the Army and two combat tours of duty proved that about Hegseth.
There is a difference between being loyal and being loyal within a Cosa Nostra. Where a Cosa Nostra is loyalty with consequences. That is why during Chump’s last fiasco he had scores of folks in his cabinet and administration that were either fired, resigned, or went to prison. The folks that “kissed the ring” went to prison like a Cosa Nostra. The ones that didn’t resigned or was fired.
Perhaps that's what that position requires most right now. You did see the California fire department video with the lesbian woman talking about how if she's forced to try to carry a man out of the fire (because she wouldn't be able to), it's the man's fault for getting himself in that position. That was her reasoning for not having to carry someone out. That is DEI.
This comment right here is ignorant. If this is all it takes, both sides would constantly trot out people that will false allege something to prevent a confirmation. Please tell me you understand that this happens right? If it ever worked, it would go to 11.
