FLORIDA USA - American President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement of selecting Pete Hegseth, born 1980, a host at Fox News as Secretary of Defense has stirred controversies in mass media, among politicians and military members because Pete’s highest ranking is a major and he has never been working in the Pentagon. In his statement, Trump emphasized some qualities of Pete as being “a warrior for the troops”, a combat veteran, a Harvard and Princeton graduate, and a holder of two Bronze Stars. Trump’s selection may originate in the goals of transforming the Department rather than just running it.
