Will be interesting... Cao was just approved!!!
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...
👏
It's about time warfighters lead the armed forces! Reading a book on MMA does not make you a fighter, and reading a book on war does not make you a warfighter. If you don't know what it's like in a foxhole or in the berthing quarters on a destroyer how can you make decisions for those who will be?
Cao is an honorable warrior, just the kind the Pentagon needs. Here's to a successful continuation of his career!
