I’m curious: if Kegbreath was removed, how far down would we have to go to find someone serious and relatively nondangerous? I still consider the boat strikes murder and hope anybody in that chain would have to answer for them (not holding my breath).
“Find someone serious and relatively nondangerous” to do what? Take over as SoD? I wouldn’t expect a new SoD to come from the Pentagon. In the meantime, there are Under and Assistant SoD’s to handle things in the temporary absence of a SoD.
As may be clear, I don’t understand the question.
Yeah, if Hegseth were removed, then we’d just have some other guy chosen by Trump in his position, instead, and he could choose literally anyone. Theoretically, the Senate could choose not to confirm someone who was too unqualified, but, well, they confirmed Hegseth.
Secretary of Defense Kid Rock would mandate “Bawitdaba” be played on loudspeakers for all military invasions.
Kid Rock allegedly had the wherewithal to think to himself, “Am I supposed to be looking at this?” when Trump showed him some top secret maps. If true, this means Kid Rock is probably more qualified to be our Secretary of Defense than Hegseth is.
The Honorable Steve Feinberg is the deputy secretary of war [sic]. He was sworn in on March 17, 2025, as the 36th deputy secretary of defense before the department’s name was changed on Sept. 5, 2025 [it wasn’t: only Congress can do so]. In this role, he serves as the Department of War’s [sic] chief operating officer, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day management of the department and executing the secretary of war’s strategic priorities.
A seasoned executive with extensive leadership experience, Feinberg founded Cerberus Capital Management in 1992. Under his leadership, Cerberus grew into a global investment firm with approximately $70 billion in assets. Over three decades, Feinberg led the company to become a global leader in an operationally-focused approach that developed and transformed all types of companies and assets across a wide range of industries.
Over the past decade, Feinberg led Cerberus to focus on the U.S. defense industry and investments that strengthen supply chain integrity.
In addition to his leadership at Cerberus, from 2018 to January 2021, Feinberg served as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, a longstanding body of national security experts and private sector leaders that provide U.S. Presidents with counsel on intelligence and related national security matters.
Deputy Secretary Feinberg is a graduate of Princeton University.

Before I clicked, I figured this thread would be about the ‘Pentagon Pizza Theory’.
The Pentagon pizza theory is the informal observation that spikes in fast food orders, particularly pizza delivery orders, near U.S. government buildings such as The Pentagon, CIA headquarters, and the White House often occur right before a major international crisis.
There’s one good thing about that site:
I learned that there’s a restaurant in Washington called We, The Pizza.
