Col Macgregor served in the US Army from 1976 to 2004, reaching the rank of Colonel. He commanded the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment. After retiring from the Army, Macgregor has remained active in public life, serving as a research fellow in the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C. He is a prolific author and commentator, offering insights on national security, foreign policy, and geopolitics.
Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
See answers above. I will also reiterate: Macgregor has been known for his unconventional and sometimes provocative opinions on various issues, including the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and US foreign policy. He has been critical of the Biden administration’s handling of these issues, arguing that the US is engaged in a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and that the administration is refusing to acknowledge Russia’s legitimate security interests.
Colonel Douglas MacGregor certainly should have a role in U.S. foreign policy. He is well-informed and uses reason in forming his opinions. He would be a great Secretary of Defense or National Security Advisor.
Col. Macgregor is one of, if not the only military leaders who sees the full picture. I have listened to 100’s of hours of him speaking and his keen perception for the truth is unmatched. There is no one better. He sees through the BS narratives and understands the global politics from behind the BS. He is tough, would keep America safe and would bring common sense to world that desperately needs it.
McGregor would be awesome in Defense. He has the moral compass that is needed to use the military in a responsible way. America’s standing in the world has suffered immensely by its endless wars, weapon sales to murderers, and messy regime change operations. Also for its failure to secure its own border. McGregor would be a powerful force in correcting these unfortunate irresponsible habits.
Col Douglas MacGregor record and loyalty surpass any of those of TV Generals. His knowledge and experience are emotionally mature and his ability to convey his thoughts are easily understood. He didn’t make a movie about himself, nor do countless promos at MaraLago for self enrichment to contest the bid for presidency. He was humble and stood by offering to help expedite solutions at all opportunities.
Lt. Col MacGregor for Sec of Defense - the 5 sided trash can needs to be overhauled. Our military is designed for WWII fighting vs. drones, satellites and missiles. Look at what is happening in the ME against our overpriced high technology! Our multimillion dollar planes, ships and missiles vs. their cheap drones and missiles.
President Trump not only knows Colonel Macgregor but also shares his vision for peace. With unparalleled expertise, he stands out as the most knowledgeable and insightful figure in foreign policy today. He should be Secretary of Defense.
Col. Douglas Macgregor is needed to serve as Secretary of Defense
I can think of no candidate better suited for Secretary of Defense than Col. Douglas Macgregor. The USA is much less likely to be drawn into a global conflict under his leadership.
I have watched many of his Ukraine war briefings. He clearly understands military weapon capabilities, operations and strategies. He understands the history of how the conflict in Ukraine developed. Most importantly, he understands the urgent need for the USA to facilitate a negotiated end to this terrible war.
Col. Macgregor likewise has a deep understanding of Israel’s conflicts with its neighbors and other Middle Eastern Countries (Jordan, Syria, Iran, Yemen). I believe he could provide important oversight of USA policies in what could develop into a dangerous Israel - Iran conflict that might bring the USA into direct conflict with Russia.
Col. Macgregor has the experience, intelligence and manifest wisdom to direct the Defense department towards strength and peace.
Col Macgregor will be crucial to cutting Defense spending while keeping America strong.
He has a plan for our infrastructure. We have a $4 trillion infrastructure deficit.
He wants to build fast rail across the American continent. This fast rail will connect our Pacific ports and Asia to our Atlantic ports and Europe. It will revitalize our economy.
We will need to repair our infrastructure and to build fast rail if we want to remain an industrial nation.
We’ve been listening Col. He’s loyal, resolute, methodical, a man of reason, well informed, innovative and keeps up with the latest - seen and unseen. He puts words into action. If you want wisdom where ‘cooler heads prevail’ this is your guy. Paired with others of like mind (this takes Teams~. The Col. is aware and can build that out well) he can keep pace and achieve what we need and beyond.
[Consider all these votes as Quality~1st, quantity 2nd]
I cannot think of a more qualified candidate, and one who will promote peace in the world. Col. MacGregor is so well versed in history and his ability to bring the lessons of history to bear on the present.
The Israelis and their lobby have been running foreign policy of this country for much too long, at terrible expense to our financial and moral standing, and to no lasting benefit of our own. Israel herself has, with her most recent LIHOP false flag and genocidal campaign, lost all moral authority she may have had treating her own citizens as pawns and committing atrocities in Gaza. A nomination of this man will go a long way to making me feel that it is America first, not Israel.
