If Pete Hegseth looks at what transpired aboard the USS Lincoln and thinks the real problem is with “a few folks in the media,” his relationship with reality is badly broken. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

A real leader takes Responsibility. Remember Ike who wrote a press release just prior to D-Day, if it failed. "....The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone." Hegseth is a disgrace.

Hegseth has broken the chain of command. He's fired the leaders who knew what they were doing. He's interfered in logistics he knows nothing about yet pretends he's the expert of all. Hegseth is so much like Trump, just so weak! Such a weak ego he spends all his energy trying to puff himself up.

Hegseth did poorly in the military, got passed over repeatedly, and has resented it. We can all see how mentally unfit he is. However Hegseth thinks being a pretty boy is all that is needed. He's destroying our military as Trump destroys our economy. In 2 years there won't be much left.
