Trump is having a helluva time finding someone to lead the Army as Secretary of the Army…..his last 2 appointees had to drop out because of their business dealings or their mouth would prove to be a hindrance.

I offered up my choice if I had a vote in a post from several days ago……my choice was Chuck Hagel….but hey read my thoughts for yourself…..

America can’t afford to see the U.S. Army continue in strategic and organizational drift.

According to U.S. Code Title 10, the secretary of the Army is “responsible for, and has the authority necessary to conduct, all affairs of the Department of the Army,” including such functions as “recruiting, organizing, supplying, equipping, training, servicing,” and the “formulation of policies and programs . . . that are fully consistent with national security objectives and policies established by the President or the Secretary of Defense.” Today’s Army is suffering in almost all of those areas.

According to the article there are 3 characteristics needed to be a good SEcArmy

• Army-specific knowledge and experience.

• A solid understanding of business practices.

• An understanding of how things work on Capitol Hill.

Chuck Hagel fits the bill perfectly……he is a combat veteran with the Army in Vietnam…..he was a successful businessman before he ran for Congress and became a Senator…thus he is well acquainted with the inner workings of Capital Hill…..

The man is a perfect candidate for the job of Secretary of the Army.

Will commonsense prevail?  No, that is not a joke.

But my bet is on some numb nuts that is in Trump’s back pocket will get the nod and the Army will suffer.

The Army needs a good man at the helm….and there is NO better candidate than Chuck Hagel.

I have sent a copy of this post to my Senators with my recommendation……we will see if they are listening…..
