Good some one who understands the job would be nice.. Would be nice if someone with military experience would get the job. But my country isn't the best in picking people with qualification.
Background on why this matters:
Defense minister in Germany has for the past 20+ years been the least attractive cabinet job. It's where you'd park party officials that deserved a job due to seniority or for representing some regional or political wing of the party. No competency required, just shuffle money around and waste resources while the Bundeswehr slowly rots away - not like anyone would need it anyway in the time of NATO.
Lambrecht is old, unqualified for the job and has demonstrated that she has zero interest in actually doing it. The reason she got it is that she's been accomplished in the party for decades and that SPD needed a minister that's female and from the region of Hesse, so she fit the bill.
Who'll be her successor? That's unclear. SPD has Lars Klingbeil, who would like the job, but unless another man resigns, they'd break the gender parity they commited to. FDP has Strack-Zimmermann who has been vocal about wanting to do it, but then some other FDP minister would have to go to keep the party balance in the coalition. Either way, there will have to be some shuffling around in the cabinet. Let's hope it's quick. >

Thank god. Can we now get someone who is actually interested in the job? >

I'm also interested. But maybe we should get someone who's actually competent. >

Why not competent and interested? Would be a change for once >

Wow, easy there, partner. Might not want to overdo it >

Is this the one with the ridiculous New Year's video? >

Yes >

What video? >

In her New Year address she said

“There's a war raging in the middle of Europe and it gave me a lot of special impressions that I was able to gain, many many encounters with interesting, great people. For that I say a heartfelt thank you.” >

... with loud  fireworks in the background. The combination is unbelievable stupid. >

Grand timing as well, US SecDef is on the Way and Ramstein conference looms end of the Week.Apparently Milley is milling around here as well.
Not like we need a Minister for Defence.Let alone a competent one interesting in doing the Job. >

Good, she's a verifiable idiot and far out of her ability to understand in such a position. >

Time to quit now that there is the possibility of war. Why promote incompetent people to these positions in the first place? You don't need lawyers as defense secretaries.
