Will be interesting…

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced his nomination of former GOP Senate candidate Hung Cao to be the next Under Secretary of the Navy.

“Hung is the embodiment of the American Dream,” Trump said in a statement posted on Truth Social. “As a refugee to our Great Nation, Hung worked tirelessly to make proud the Country that gave his family a home. He went to our amazing United States Naval Academy, and later earned his Master’s Degree in Physics. Hung served in combat as a Special Operations Officer for twenty five years. With Hung’s experience both in combat, and in the Pentagon, he will get the job done.

Retired O-6 EOD type, combat vet, Vietnamese refugee as a child, Naval Academy graduate… And proud to be an American citizen!

So he ‘knows’ the Navy inside and out. He will be a great balance with John Phelan, who is now SECNAV and never served. Along with ADM Caudle, this should promote a significant shift in the Navy back to a warfighting footing, and improve the average sailor’s lives. And it will be even better if they get the damned pay raises through the congresscritters… Grrr…

  2. This is the real story of America. I work for a major league defense contractor and our Chief SAP Architect of the system that runs the whole company got picked up out of a little boat escaping the fall of Saigon as a child and is one of the best people I know.

  3. Everybody Hung Cao tonight.

    And now that Wang Chung earworm is stuck in everyone’s minds. You’re welcome.

    • Bad tiger, bad bad! Go sit in the corner and think shame on yourself.

  6. On pay raises,,,I’ve ALWAYS thought that service members who had to go on welfare just to feed their families was a huge stain on the honor of America and us all.

    And why the Hell do service members pay income tax? Aren’t they paying with their blood?

  7. Don’t know what the hell that was, but I removed it…

  8. Even if they get the pay raises through, most of them have been only for 5 or less percent per year, while the inflation rate is usually double that. Plus, the congress gets around 40 percent or more raise every time. It burns my kippers.
