#Hegseth retired from the army national guard as a major. The largest group he led was a platoon.
A platoon is commanded by a lieutenant.
Two or more platoons make a company, usually commanded by a captain.
A battalion is commanded by a lieutenant colonel and a major is usually the second in command. The XO operations officer.
Hegseth’s command didn’t see him fit enough to command a company or battalion.
Now he’s qualified to run a 3 million person defense dept?
What a fuckin joke!🤬
