Drumpf and his day-drunk, Fox "news" flunky DEI hire Pete Hegseth are steadily hollowing out all of the US branches of military of qualified, competent, honorable leadership and replacing them with unqualified apparatchiks and as we now see, stooges from Elmo's phony DOGE outfit:
Link: SCOOP: Trump Swaps Decorated Admiral With 33-Year-Old DOGEr
"THE EXPERIENCED HEAD OF A CRITICAL OFFICE that helps organize important technical research and disburse billions of dollars in funding for the U.S. Navy is being replaced by a 33-year-old former DOGE employee with no apparent naval experience.
Rear Admiral Kurt Rothenhaus was recently removed from his post as chief of naval research, the top post at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and replaced by Rachel Riley, a former partner at McKinsey & Company and Rhodes Scholar recipient who has been serving since January in a DOGE-related roles inside the Trump administration.
The move, which was described to us by two officials familiar with the matter, was confirmed by both the administration and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“Usually the head of Naval Research is a very senior member of the military or the senior executive service with an extensive experience in technology, science, engineering,” Kelly, a former naval aviator and NASA astronaut, said in a brief interview. “That’s the kind of person we put in that job."
It's the equivalent of a hospital administrator appointing his car mechanic as the head of the Neurology department. And I'm certain it can't be a good thing for our national security having one of Elmo's reckless cyberhackers who has zero Navy experience overseeing all of US Naval Research.
Every day of Drumpf's wretched presence in the White House, brings this nation and it's people one step closer to disaster on a grand, unfathomable scale.
