Apparently there aren't many people who want to swear blind loyalty to Trump
Most top Pentagon jobs still empty as Trump insists on loyalty

Four months into his presidency, Donald Trump has filled only five of the 53 top jobs at the Pentagon – the slowest pace for nominations and confirmations in over half a century.
Several of his high-profile picks, including Navy and Army secretary nominees, have had to withdraw because of their business entanglements. In other cases, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis has clashed with the White House, which has blacklisted national security and defense leaders who publicly disagreed with Trump during the 2016 campaign, according to several current and former defense officials.
“In the vetting process there is a lot of scrutiny of social media accounts, Twitter . . . any hint of something negative about Trump as a candidate can be disqualifying, and a lot of people haven’t made it through that filter,” said Christine Wormuth, who served as the Pentagon’s top policy official from 2014 to 2016, under former President Barack Obama’s administration.

They are part of the swamp. No big deal. Bring in people from the outside.

Oh like all these people are so missed! Who gives a F? The sooner this leviathon shrinks to a reasonable size the better.
Like Strawcunt cares that the Pentagon is lacking staffing? :'( :'( cry me a river

so you want people from outside the military for key positions in the Pentagon
Does Trump have any more son-in-laws?
Maybe some more billionaire cronies with zero experience ?

I knew you wouldn't care
If this were Obama you'd be losing what's left of your shattered mind

Like many of Obama's sugar daddy's like Soros, Steier, et al?

good point as always
I remember when Obama appointed Soros and Soros associates to top Pentagon jobs

Of course. He would be appointing those who would want to enforce his awful policies. Why would that be supported/liked?

Good point Straw.
THIS illustrates how Trump fails at doing the basic, tedious work needed to successfully govern.

Be honest, you know nothing about this topic. Obama fired people who were qualified in the defense dept and replaced them with partisan hacks.
Why? Blind loyalty.

Lately, I tend to agree more with Straw then most other posters on here.
Having said that, this shopped pic post is f'n hilarious.
I'd still crack up if I was the target of the joke.
Yamcha, you're one of the rare, few Trump supporters who can say a few negative things about him.
Why do we see so much hero worship of Trump by so many of his supporters.
It just seems creepy and if they blindly follow like some religion?

Considering the OP, this is more than fitting.

Ok? So the vacancy rate is not that high in the Pentagon?
Is this wrong?

Are you saying they'd be ok swearing "blind loyalty" to Killary?
And how many millions is this saving the American taxpayer?

Are folks working at the Pentagon required to be loyal to the President?
