Biff? Nahh, he’s a Sexual Tyrannosaurus if you ask BQZip’s Mom though!

No.  But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

You said who your barometer was and I said who mine was. Simple as that. Until we're in WWIII we'll never know if any Sec Def would have matched up to CoS Marshall.

Nice try though. Having political arguments with ppl butt hurt over who's in office so they come to the internet for "wins" isn't my idea of healthy living.

Nope, you indexed a solid American.  I say hell yes.  Said current staff is painfully no match for your standard, yet you don't voice that.  Why?  Shouldn't we have good, upstanding Americans lead this nation?  I don't get it.  Honest question, what is so wrong with that?

You're still in the painted corner.

As I said, Marshall would have had an in-person meeting, just as Hegseth did. By all means though, continue to argue about points I didn't make...as is tradition.

You're arguing about what dead guy would do, and I'm saying said dead guy should be a model of leadership.  You can never prove your point, but I can continue to compare a historical figure to a TV talking head.  If you think I'm displeased only with him holding a meeting, you haven't been paying attention.  Pete is not a leader and I don't see him growing into one.

 Disgruntledemployee,

  Perhaps if you view Trump as a non-politician, it may help you warm up to him. He isn’t a politician, he’s not a smooth talker, he’s blunt, says what’s on his mind and often gets in a lot of trouble for it. But he’s a damned effective leader, rough around the edges for sure, but he gets things done! I’m sure. He’s also beholden to no man, doesn’t need money, and loves America. I can think of a lot worse people. George Marshall was a very good soldier, leader, and undoubtably an effective politician to earn all those stars.
