No surprise whatsoever that Hegseth turns out to be a preening blowhard who loves to act like an alpha male while in reality he's a self-serving beta coward. It's still infuriating seeing him try to throw other people under the bus for decisions he no doubt made and ordered to happen. That doesn't justify his subordinates carrying out those orders, but it does starkly reveal Hegseth for the gutless POS he truly is.
 
Normal ppl here aside, what's it like wholeheartedly supporting this full on, low end version of white supremacy?

“… Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, acknowledged Monday that Hegseth had authorized Bradley to conduct the strikes on Sept. 2. Bradley, she added, “worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed.”

Her scripted remarks at a news briefing elicited a furious backlash within the Defense Department, where officials described feeling angry at the uncertainty over whether Hegseth would take responsibility for his alleged role in the operation — or leave the military and civilian staff under him to face the consequences.

“This is ‘protect Pete’ bulls---,” one military official, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations, told The Post.

… Hegseth, writing on social media Monday night, said he stands by the admiral “and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since.”

His statement is likely to deepen the sense of furor among military officials who suspect Hegseth is attempting to insulate himself from any legal recourse and leave Bradley — whom the secretary called “an American hero, a true professional” — to account for the fallout alone.

… President Donald Trump told reporters Sunday that he had discussed the matter with Hegseth, who, Trump said, assured him he did not give an order to kill everyone aboard the boat. “And I believe him,” the president added, “100 percent.”…”

“… Bradley, who oversees U.S. Special Operations Command, is not widely known outside that community. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, he came up through the ranks as a Navy SEAL and was one of the very first troops deployed to Afghanistan to strike the Taliban after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Before assuming his current assignment, Bradley led the shadowy Joint Special Operations Command, and oversaw Special Operations forces in the Middle East and the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, commonly known as SEAL Team 6.

A U.S. official on Monday lamented that Bradley, who has kept a low profile throughout much of his career, was singled out by Leavitt in her statement at the White House earlier.

“Whether he takes the blame or not,” this official said, “his reputation has been marred by this forever, just by that statement.”

A spokesperson for Special Operations Command declined to comment.…”
 
So, the timeline is that the survivors of the boat attack who were then killed with a second (illegal) strike happened, and then later the six member members of Congress made their video.
Did they know about the second strike before making the video? If so, it makes sense that these former military officers would seek to protect their own from the likes of cowards like Hegseth and Trump.

Could we sub in a steam roller for Hegseth?

I, for one, look forward to having Stuart Varney as our next Chairman of the Federal Reserve. As with Hegseth, what could go wrong with having a blowhard Fox talking head in charge of a very important and vital government position?
 


Maduro and Trump should just go settle their beef once and for all on Dancing with the Stars. Loser resigns from office, winner controls Venezuelan oil fields.
