Are you saying Hegseth isn’t a multi-time divorced adulterer? Are you saying he didn’t pay off a woman who accused him of sexual assault? Are you saying he didn’t have numerous complaints go public about his drinking problem? Answer carefully!

I get your points. Here is the questions I will ask:
Is he transforming our military back from a woke joke?

Is holding the fat arse generals accountable for producing a lethal military?

Are recruiting numbers through the roof under his leadership?

Do you want a patsy, woke, lgtbq loving military or one that is a reckoning machine that will deliver the defense and offense that keep us safe and well defended?

Winston Churchill was a drunk (at one point in his life). He was also the best prime minister that Britain ever had. Especially during the time period. What Hegseth is doing in the military is remarkable.

Please provide absolute proof of this BS you posted. Not opinion, or speculation, but proof.

What is driving the recruiting numbers?

Is it all due to patriotism, inspiration from Hegseth, or not so excellent job prospects?

Former colleagues and a family member.

Is there a good answer to that question? Most people live their whole lives without being accused of alcoholism and rape

Also funny that you only took issue with that question and not only confirmed its validity but are clearly only asking so you can “well ackshually it was just his brothers wife!” like that’s some kind of moral victory .

I think soaring costs of college education play a significant factor.

Well, maybe right after a high dollar offer from Raytheon. And try to take on some enemies on the way out.

Friend of mine who works for a national security think tank gave me these thoughts.

Hegseth's book, The War on Warriors was spot on. That doesn't make him a great Secretary of War, but I don't know that Driscoll was any good at being an Army Secretary

On the other hand, nothing in Driscoll's background suggests he was suitable for SECARMY. Lawyer, investment banker, 1st LT. He may have been a great SECARMY. I don't know. Arguably the greatest Secretary of the Navy ever was a guy named Frank Knox was a newspaper man and former soldier...
