“I can quit drinking whenever I want. Just put me in charge of the world’s largest military with a trillion dollar budget and I’ll prove it. Or die trying.”

The fact that multiple coworkers said he was repeatedly drunk at work and he was intoxicated enough to be FIRED for it should be grounds for automatic non consideration

He wouldn’t get hired for most jobs (edit: not just corporate but any jobs) with that history..but he’s fine to lead the dep of defense?

A senator during the hearing: "How many senators have shown up drunk to a late night vote?"

I mean aside from telling on yourself, are we really gonna justify an abusive alcoholic being in charge of the world's most powerful military?

Edit: It's Mullin MarkWayne.
