Hegseth is an unconventional choice for Secretary Defense. I'm Republican or perhaps more properly republicanist, and he wouldn't have been my first choice or 10th. One of Trump's weaknesses is he surrounds himself with people who praise him, and Hegseth on Fox News was definitely a cheerleader.

I don't believe that Hegseth has the requisite experience to be the Secretary of Defense, he is a decorated veterans but has no significant experience at higher levels of organizational leadership. The Department of Defense is a leviathan and that takes some sophistication and discernment to steer well. Arguably his predescors have not done fantastic jobs either, but I would have preferred a more conventional choice.
