Hegseth is an absolute embarrassment to our beloved institution. His disgraceful American “crusade” (his telling word) and shameless support of an authoritarian would-be dictator will leave a permanent stain on our long tradition of being truly in the nation's service. While nobody in her right mind thinks Iran, Cuba, Russia, etc. have been admirable or friendly to us for quite some time now, putting one’s considerable political (and war) power, as Pete has, behind an out of control, mostly incompetent regime run by a convicted felon is calamitous for those who still believe in truth and the law.
