A guy I know voted for President Trump because he’s afraid of nuclear war. The incoming Secretary of Defenses highest military ranking is Major. Skip the fact that he’s a news personality. Service wise:
For scale, he isn’t a -
A General
A Lieutenant General
A Major General
A Brigadier General (that’s like a senior staff general)
A Colonel
A Lieutenant Colonel
He’s literally the lowest ranked officer you can be.
Who told you, you have to be all these ranks to be a Sec of Defense?
President of the United States is literally Commander and Chief.
Sometimes we salute the rank and not the person. It’s normal
For any veteran to understand that. 🫡
He out ranks them all now
No a Major is not the lowest ranked officer you can be. Being of a higher rank does not necessarily mean someone will be a better Secretary of Defense.
