I Wonder How Hegseth Is Going to Do at the Pentagon. [View all]

I mean, he's going to be in charge of an organization full of General officers. All very experienced and knowledgeable about the branches they run. Hegseth, on the other hand, really has no managerial experience of note. Not of any kind. He's going to be telling Generals what to do. The idea makes me chuckle a little when I think about it.

Now, I haven't known too many Generals. A couple, but one thing I've noticed is that they're much more used to being in command than being commanded. And by a whippersnapper mid-range officer, at that. It's going to be uncomfortable for Hegseth, I'm pretty sure. It's not going to be all that comfortable for the Generals, either. I foresee certain difficulties.

Will Hegseth puff himself up and try to dominate? Or will he allow himself to be guided by men of experience. I don't know. I suspect he doesn't know, either. Should be fascinating to watch. I can see the Generals chatting to each other, and chuckling about some dumbass thing Hegseth said. I can see that happening many, many times.
