Literally only one.

A civilian, thats it, nothing more.

To ensure civilian control of the military, U.S. law provides that the secretary of defense cannot have served as an active-duty commissioned officer in the military in the preceding seven years except for generals and admirals, who cannot have served on active duty within the previous ten years
Let's apply that logic to the qualifications to be Vice President which are:
- be a natural-born U.S. citizen;
- be at least 35 years old;
- be a resident in the U.S. for at least 14 years.

Did that stop MAQA yahoos from questioning kamala harris' qualifications?
But she was stupid, drunk AND a whore

Thank you for bolstering my argument and showing that the comparison between hegswith and harris is even stronger.

Austin helps your case

Hegseth will be good for morale for starters

Oh, since Trump was elected recruiting is up

Thank you Donald Trump
There are good things (including military morale and recruiting) about a trump Presidency but it's a package deal and we get the good with the bad.

The bad is not insignificant. His narcissism and disregard for the Constitution are problems as is his affinity for brutal dictators over longtime allies.
well all the Brutal Dictators of the World were born prior to Trump, nothing we have ever done has gotten rid of em so I'm willing to let Trump deal with them as he sees fit....

Combine trump's affinity for brutal dictators with his disregard for the Constitution and the concern is that he wants to be a dictator unbound by the Constitution or other restraints.

I'm like Ganny in that I have faith in the system of checks and balances put in place by our Founding Fathers to keep trump in check but I also have no doubt that he's going to see how far he can push it. Hopefully SCOTUS and Republicans in Congress have the backbone and scruples to stand up to him.

Real men are not defined by drink, recognize their limits, and rarely if ever over-consume. This is clearly not the case with Hegseth whose issues with alcohol are known. One huge tell was Hegseth promising not to drink when he bacame Sec Def. Spoken like a true alcoholic.

Like all drugs, booze disrupts cognitive function and decision making capabilities. It can be a deadly drug and has taken down many a fine man.

The difference is its legality and social acceptability.

People that drink aren't bad people, just like people who use THC aren't bad people. It's people that abuse drugs or have addiction issues and who are in important positions where the impact on their judgement or susceptibility to compromise by our nation's enemies that concern me.

You believe that your opinions are facts, accurate observations, etc. while opinions that you disagree with are spin, bullshit, etc. Your zealous certainty in the righteousness of your beliefs is right up there with suicide bombers ... trump akbar!

As a rule of thumb with heavy you can double the amount they tell you they drink.
