It’s not a PhD but the Centcom commander “is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and earned a master’s degree in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University. He studied international relations at Harvard and Tufts Universities,” so while I’m not a fan of him or anything, on paper at least he’s not as totally unqualified as the the other three morons.
Look, nobody’s perfect. I’m sure once Hegseth finds out he’ll quickly rectify his mistake and kick him out in favor of a less qualified sycophant.
Well they need to take back his degree. He and his bosses royally fucked this.
Your spelling almost blew a vein in my forehead
Well played!

The only real “DEI” hire we should be worried about.
Maybe, just maybe, the US Administration shouldn’t be discriminating in favour of the Empathy Impaired.
A long while ago, I was considering taking an MBA, until I talked to my friend’s dad of Iranian ancestry.
I did not bring it up, in the middle of an unrelated conversation he just dropped that he was disappointed that his kid(bordering 40s) was not a PhD, and how MBAs are ruining the world.
Every single people of Persian ancestry I met in my life takes education very seriously, maybe not so much the younger ones as they only aim for a master’s degree and hurt their parents feelings. :P
thats asian upbringing to, they expect you to be MD/ Law which is a doctorate, or a scientist, or one that has a high income. any other jobs they will constantly compare and keep complaining every single time.
The OP also included zero information on what these guys have their PhDs in. Iran is a theocracy, so at least some of them are likely to have doctorates in Islamic theology or Sharia law.
I don’t know about Iran, but India also loves academic titles. They are very easy to get and often just mean you have to pay for them. I have Indians with multiple masters degrees, that knew less than someone with a bachelors degree from a European university.
Not sure why you are replying me to complain of OP, but I will take the bait.
Many countries have diploma purchase(or diploma mill), when we are hiring we avoid those business. Or the employee do not last long. Back in the day, I had some masters that could not do a thing if the answer was not online. That said, I still prefer to hire someone with higher education that someone with none, too many kids that value “skills” with no understanding of basic concepts of the profession, things taught in the first years of a post secondary education.
I know that instance does not say much, but I am replying from Canada, the Iranian ancestry I talk about are people who got their PhD from McGill, UofT and others. I know we have private diploma mill problem in Canada, but I don’t know anyone from those business.
Second, this is a meme comm, I don’t think you will find any source from OPs. Very few posters, usually the good ones, put the source or a brief explanation on their memes.
Very reasonable answer.
High level education is a form of social reproduction, the world over. We have moved away from strictly family-oriented hereditary management and adopted a broader ideological basis for transferring political authority and private ownership.
Case in point, Kushner, graduated with a JD/MBA dual degree program at the New York University School of Law and New York University Stern School of Business in 2007. He interned at Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau’s office, and with the New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. He’s a New York Business Deals Guy, which is why he ran in Trump’s circle and ultimately married his daughter.
Similarly, Vance earned his JD from Yale in 2013, then spent his early career working for perennial Texas Senator John Cornyn and chief justice of the Eastern District of Kentucky circuit court system. To say he’s uneducated would be absurd. He is in a direct pedigree with a long line of far-right apparatchiks.
All these Iranian diplomats went through a similar matriculation in their younger days. They’ve been promoted as much due to their loyalty to the project of Iranian independence as their raw educational background and attainment of certification.
What do people think someone with a PhD did to earn the degree? What do people think someone promoted to a C-level position at a major corporation or partnership at a ranking law firm did to earn the post? You might be surprised to discover the degree of overlap. Much of it boils down to standing up in front of a board of your professional peers and proving you’re able to discourse with them at an equivalent level.
Grok write for me a big text that says I don’t know what post secondary education is without saying I don’t know what post secondary education is.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/provinces-cracking-down-on-private-institutions-1.7091194 and? Do you think McGill and UofT are issuing fake PhD titles?
Did you even read the link you sent? It even explains every country countermeasure to avoid diploma mills.
Grok, please read this Wikipedia article for me, and reply very verbose because I don’t believe in higher education.
Do you think McGill and UofT are issuing fake PhD titles?
Do you think George Bush Jr got passing grades at Yale?
It even explains every country countermeasure to avoid diploma mills.
Given that it’s a pejorative? Hardly.
Grok, please read this Wikipedia article for me
This is the brainrot inflicted by AI.
Hahahaha, ok that was funny.
I lost when you said you don’t read the article you sent because it is pejorative. Touché.
you don’t read the article you sent because it is pejorative
Brother, you should read the article.
On the way over, Vance compared this negotiation to the time he told Usha she was not allowed to go skydiving.
That did not give me confidence in the outcome.
Did Usha go skydiving?
No. JD Vance told her not to do it, so she didn’t.
This is how negotiations are supposed to work.
No, that’s how agreements work. Negotiations come before that.
Why use word when me have bigger stick?
I hope she is right now
Jared Kushner reminds me of a fencepost.
He’s a thrift store mannequin, complete with a little bulge where his junk should be.
A fencepost is actually useful.
Jared Kushner would be useful enough as a fencepost you would just need a whole lot of them to make a fence obviously.
Just another
swampbabynepobaby:Netanyahu has long been a friend of the Kushners, and particularly Jared’s dad, Charles Kushner, a major donor to pro-Israel and Jewish causes. One time, Kantor reports – she doesn’t specify when – Jared gave up his bed and moved to the basement so Netanyahu could spend the night at their home in Livingston, New Jersey.
Lol unfortunately that is their best
Selected for loyalty, not for their performance.

When the US sends its people, we’re not sending our best. We’re not sending you. We’re not sending you. We’re sending people that have lots of problems, and we’re bringing those problems with us. We’re bringing drugs. We’re bringing crime. We’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Original Trump quote:
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Seems fitting here
Trumps son in law getting work from him is outrageous. Utterly indefensible
They’re not sending their best.
Actually they are 😅
I bet you those americans pose like it’s nobody’s business though. All the current us power folks seem to be in cosplay mode. Acting like what they see on TV, not acting like real people.
Happy to see so many women in top positions.
sus
Why have competent people with independent thoughts in positions of power, if you can have loyal people who do what you tell them to?
