The only reason he is not in prison or worse is because he was removed from the inaugural event as an insider threat (white supremacist). He is a problem that cannot be overlooked. He is an agitator by the sheer fact he took anti-Pentagon views to his viewership on FOX News.
Hello? Pete what the heck?
The greatest military in the world doesn’t need an extremist on the cabinet. Hegseth is well known to his views. There is no reason to question him further.
A Defense Secretary cannot be a hothead about the leadership of the top brass of the USA military. He would make life miserable for every commander in every branch of the service.
Today’s military is all inclusive. There are women who lead, pilot helicopters and fighter jets. There are members and leaders from the LGBTQ community. I don’t know if he pays much attention but his tattoo and it’s implications are a direct insult to the current Defense Secretary.
Leadership exhibiting this level of extremist views would result in problems within the ranks of the military. There is just no doubt he is inflammatory. Any idea what that translates to on the battlefield?
Trump has a real burr up his ass and he wants desertion and division in the military. I would encourage the Senate to keep expecting a realistic person for Defense Secretary and not vote until one is chosen.
Mr. Hegseth needs to have some tattoos removed to exhibit the fact he can be a reasonable person rather than an extremist. It is one thing to have tattoos within the service among other soldiers, but, it is quite another thing to be at the top of the decision makers and exhibit such views with the authority a Defense Secretary can wield.
Someone needs to get real with Trump. This is nonsense. The military is not about political dogma. Honestly.
I have to wonder how much of this is quid pro quo. FOX News? Woke? He had the attention of a lot of right wing voters. “Could I be Defense Secretary if I get you elected?”
