The Trump appointee for Secretary of Defense is criticized for his debilitating drunkenness and abusive behavior toward women. He seems to have overcome these objections. His writing has exposed his ultra- conservative views which don’t seem to be a problem for the Republican Senators. For example; women should not serve in combat, transexuals should not be in the military, and woke culture has debilitated the military leadership. He believes we need a modern-day crusade in which Christians engage and prevail over fundamentalists. He is an articulate representative of the white cultural backlash. Purging the military of independent leadership, deployment of troops to facilitate deportations and active suppression of dissent are all palpable risks should he get the job.
