Hegseth has zero qualifications to serve as defense secretary. Except for one thing. He is blindly loyal to Trump.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accordingly, when Trump declares complete victory over Iran in this idiotic war of choice, Hegseth follows the liar in chief straight into the crapper. He bought Trump&#8217;s desire to refer to the Pentagon chief as the &#8220;war secretary,&#8221; and calls his department the &#8220;Department of War.&#8221; What a bunch of crap!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, when Hegseth keeps repeating the lie about Iran being rendered defenseless against our bombs and missiles, I am left to wonder: How in the hell do the Iranians keep firing missiles at targets in the Strait of Hormuz? We were told the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes &#8220;obliterated&#8221; Iran&#8217;s military. Isn&#8217;t that the case?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we keep bombing Iran, and they keep firing back at us, the price of oil continues to skyrocket, forcing huge inflationary pressure on the price of gasoline and diesel fuel. Hegseth is silent about all of that, as is the dipshit in chief.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a veteran who has served in a war zone for my country, I consider Pete Hegseth to be unworthy of any form of respect his office should demand. He is a disgrace.<\/p>\r\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=Hegseth%20%23Iranwar%20%23Pentagon%20%23HormuzStrait&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let us take a quick peek into the shallow mind of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the nimrod who keeps telling us that Iran has been dealt a blow that renders its armed forces &#8220;combat ineffective.&#8221; Recall that Donald Trump recruited Hegseth off the Fox and Friends Weekend couch to lead the Pentagon.
