Letter to the editor: Totally unqualified

To the editor:

With only three Republican senators voting nay and Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie vote, the U.S. Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth, a completely inexperienced and unqualified TV presenter to be our secretary of defense. Does everyone get that? The complex, technical military/civilian organization of 3.4 million Americans that defends us from threats all over the world was just dropped into the hands of a man with no qualifications for the daunting job. If you aren’t really scared, you’re not paying attention! And you ought to be asking where our Kansas senators were when it was time to vote to defend us.
