A 1977 graduate of West Point, Viola contributed millions to the academy after September 11th to establish its Combating Terrorism Center, according to the Wall Street Journal.

And this qualifies him for the position. And the fact that he’s rich and White.

I can see how he’d really be able to relate to the enlisted men. :angry:

How are the deplorables doing now? Another billionaire with all kinds of business conflicts with government.

Trump’s words behind closed doors that line up with his cabinet picks:

  1. TAX CUTS…only for the very rich. tax increases for the middle class…another Bush Presidency

  2. CLEAN THE SWAMP…of anyone who opposes billionaire rule and corruption. MONEY is the only power that America should honor…long live the corporations and billionaires. To hell with the working class.

  3. Trump agrees with Putin: The USSR never should have crumbled under Reagan’s cold war…the USSR will be rebuilt by Putin with lap puppy Trump going along for the ride for a few golf courses along the north sea.

The US will not survive Trump’s term…the Republican congress is not up to the job of actually doing an honest week’s work and Trump knows it.

I hear he’s a whiz at Call of Duty and Battlefield 1, which is what convinced Dumblefuck that he was The Perfect Choice.

The US army/military is not a business.

That is all.

Tell that to Dumblefuck. He’s going to demand a higher ROI on every kill, or else!

He went to West Point, so that’s a plus, but running the army like a business? that’s flat out stupid.

Wouldn’t be surprised if any bonuses that are promised in the future end up never materializing. After all, that’s just more money that could go into his pocket as a tax cut.

NOW is probably a good time for enlisted personnel to think about maybe leaving and finding something else.

I really dislike rubes saying, “Run government like a business!” Government is not a business, as there is no profit motive, just the motive to provide public services. In the Army’s case, providing for defense of The United States.

Another ridiculous nomination.

I read another online political forum that contains a mix or Democratic leaning voters as well as Trump supporters. I can tell you the Trumpers won’t care. They seem to believe businesspeople are smart and will create jobs. They also believe in the trickle down idea - when rich people succeed poor people get something too. They’d view this billionaire choice as a smart move and they think this is yet another way to show Pepe is not Washington and this is not business as usual.

It won’t matter. What may sway them is actually seeing and feeling the effects of what he’s doing. And even then I’m not sure it will matter as long as he’s not Hillary, no email servers are involved and they can now be politically incorrect

You’re right. According to Lockheed, the U.S. military is good business.

Going to be difficult to MAGA with a “winner take all” cabinet. We’ll see how well that estate tax repeal goes over in the rust belt.

What is military strategy other than M&A played with countries instead of companies?

And I have a feeling that Drumpf is in an acquisitive mood…

OMG is he going to make the Army buy his products cheap? Trump is giving out government positions to his corporate buddies like a prize for supporting him. Nice Army we used to have. One of the worse picks yet.
