Pitter Hergus overcomes the sexual assault of the two veterans he managed, alcoholism and poor financial management of public places, and have won the approval of the Senate with a weak advantage and became the National Defense Minister of Donald Trump. The voting result is 50-50. Senator Mitch McConell and Alaska Senator Lisa Murkoswski and Maine Senator Susan Collins voted together against Hergeson After Sri Lang, Vice President JD Vance voted for a decisive vote.

Earlier, the only time Vice President broke the draw in the cabinet confirmation was during Trump's first term. At that time, Vice President Mike Pence voted to confirm Betsy Devos. Minister of Education.

Mulcoski and Collins voted against Hergses on the grounds that these allegations and his lack of management experience. If the four Republicans voted with the Senate Democrats to oppose Hergerus, their nominations will fail.

The allegations include: Hergus was accused of sexually assaulted a woman at a Republican meeting in 2017, and finally signed a confidentiality agreement and paid financial and funds. In addition, a former sister -in -law accused him of "abuse" behavior about his second wife, but his second wife denied any physical abuse. Hergerus is responsible for two veterans of non -profit organizations, and these organizations spend more money than received. Hergerus said that any allegations against him were false, and this was the result of discredit employees or some media to discredit him.

44 -year -old Hergus was a veteran of the Army National Guard and a former Fox news host. He had no experience in managing large organizations. At his confirmation hearing, he talked about this and said he had different backgrounds. He mentioned his "dust on the boots" in his fighting deployment in Iraq, and vowed to become the "transformator" and "subverter" of the Pentagon.

Since the establishment of the Minister of Defense in 1947, the per capita of this position comes from senior positions in politics, industry or military.

The Republican Chairman of the Senate Military Commission and Mississippi Senator Roger Wick said that Hergus's work as a Fox news host may help his new role in the Pentagon.

"We must not underestimate the importance of having a top -level communication person as the Minister of Defense. Except for the president, no officials are telling the men's and women, Congress and the public about the threats and the public in the public. , "Wike said.

Hergus once said that he hoped to restore the lethality of the army. He claimed that the army was "wake up" through diversification, fairness and inclusive (DEI) plan, and he claimed that the plan had replaced the attention of the war. He promised to ensure that promotion is only based on performance, rather than the quotas of women and minorities hes and minorities he mistakenly described.

At the recent Pentagon leader confirmed the hearing, he was questioned due to allegations of the quota system. New York State Senator Kirsteen Gillibrand holds a copy of the current military standards of men and women's infantry. He said: "The commander does not have to reach the quota of women in infantry. The impression of the statement is that these do not exist. "

He also criticized the senior leaders of the Pentagon, including General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff (the second African -American male man who served as the position of the position) and the general of the Navy General Lisa Franchette (the first leader who led the Navy To.

"First of all, you have to dismiss the chairman of the Chief of Staff Joint Meeting. Any general, general, general, general, general, no matter what, he must step down," He Gessens must be stepped down. " Sean Ruian ShowEssence

Worried about Hergsen will start firing senior officers, such remarks caused a shock in the Pentagon. According to reports, in the last period of Trump's first government governance, Trump officials worked hard to dismiss senior officials in order to let "their" officials take power. Melting pointAuthor: former senior officer Frank McKenzie, a former senior officer of the Central Command, retired.

McCanzi wrote: "This is the excessive politicalization of the officer team. For the future of the US military, there is nothing more dangerous than such a plan." In the end, these proposed personnel changes have no results.

Hergus also said in Sean Ryian's program that women should not be allowed to join the ground combat forces.

"I said straightforwardly that we should not let women play a fighting role," he said. "It does not make us more efficient, nor does it make us more lethal, but make the battle more complicated."

Since 2016, women have qualified to engage in ground combat work. About 3,800 women are currently serving in the army infantry, armored soldiers, and artillery forces. In addition, 700 women served on ground combat forces on the Marine Corps.

Hegles softened his position on female ground combat roles at the appointment of hearing.

Earlier this month, Hergus told the Senate Military Commission: "Every soldier, regardless of gender, as long as it can meet the objective occupation and preparation standards in the professional field, there should be the opportunity to compete in the field of work."

"In those ground fighting characters, the fact is that the weight of your backpack will not change, the weight of the 155 bullets you must carry will not change, the weight of the 240 BRAVO machine gun you carry will not change. Things will not change, so whether men or women, they must meet the same high standards, "he said.

Nonetheless, Hergses accused that in order to allow more women to join the army ground combat forces, the standard has been reduced, and this view has been strongly questioned by the army officials. Hergus promised to review these standards as secretary -general.

The issue faced by the Trump administration's Ministry of National Defense

Hergus will no longer participate in major wars, but still participate in Iraq and Syrian affairs and cooperate with the local forces to hunt the remaining forces of Islamic State. The U.S. army also trains with the African army to fight any militants in North Africa. One of the issues facing the new government was the anti -Islamic state mission that Trump will continue to go with the Islamic State Training and Command Center.

Another possible problem is the relationship between the United States and NATO member states. Trump has long criticized the alliance for not paying sufficient fees for his defense. Recently, he also called on alliance members to use 5%of its GDP for national defense. The US defense expenditure is currently less than 3 %.

Hergus's priority is to provide military assistance to the southern border. At present, about 1,500 active soldiers have been sent there to help the border patrol, and their work includes construction barricades and transportation. Officials of the Pentagon stated that thousands of soldiers will be dispatched in the next few weeks and months.
