Here we go again.
You dont think a 31 year EMS veteran and former Chief of EMS Operations can lead FDNY? Of course she can. You are just a bigot.
Should the head of nurses become the head of doctors? Like nurses and doctors, firefighters and EMT aren't the same. Firefighters are trained in EMS but EMT aren't trained to fight fires.
Of course the EMS Chief of Operations can run the Fire Department.
Now show me your criticism of truly unqualified people like Pete Hegseth
Hegseth was commissioned as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army National Guard after graduating from Princeton University in 2003. He participated in a number of active-duty deployments during his time in service, including operations in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan. Hegseth also served in multiple staff positions in the National Guard.
Hegseth's military awards include two Bronze Star Medals, the Joint Commendation Medal, two Army Commendation Medals, the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) and the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB). He has authored five books, including the New York Times best-seller The War on Warriors (2024).
While all the above is true, he still isn't a great pick for Secretary of Defense.
With her executive level experience running EMS in NYC, the new head of FDNY is more qualified to run the Dept of Defense than Pete Hegseth
Well that's entirely laughable, unless you're good with sending EMTs out with guns and tanks.
Said like somebody who doesn't know what executives do
An executive of one field cannot just slot into the place of an executive of another field
Happens all the time in corporate America
