The good news is this has happened before, not every military leader throughout the history of the US has been great or even competent. The new guy Hegseth picks might be horrible but whatever he does can be fixed.

This has nothing to do with Trump or Hegseth but honestly our military has been doing a lot of stupid things for a while especially on the weapons system side. It's not such a bad thing that we churn through some of these people.
