We would call those qualifications to be a Sr. Principal Engineer or higher even ... not an SVP in charge of 1M+ people. Hegseth is way out of his league.

I love how people think managing 1M people and 100 people are different. In both cases it's all delegation. You can't oversee more than 10 people in any realistic sense.

> SVP in charge of 1M+ people

it's more like CEO in charge of 3M+ people and a $850 billion annual budget (of your money)

not to mention global repercussions
