When Trump finally gets sick of Hegseth's shit, who should they replace him with?

My vote is retired Command Sergeant Major Raymond McKnight, who would never want the job because he wouldn't put up with Trump's shit for more than about an hour. He'd also get canned the first day for telling Elon Musk to go fuck himself - to his face.

But yeah, who do you want in the job?

He wants a loyal sycophant who'll look good on TV, another one like Hogsbreath. It's almost certain that he'll appoint someone who is just as bad or even worse.

General Burlakov was the last commander of Soviet forces in East Germany and managed their withdrawal to Russia. As Soviet generals went he was decent, but he died in 2011.

He would be perfect for the Trump administration since he already admitted that he “knows nothing”
