Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Pete Hegseth is a imbecile and a disgrace to those that wore the uniform. He is just a complete crack head halfwit wanna be. Trying to play the big man that projects power and yet no one likes or trusts him.

Changing the title to Department of War, really the only war is in his head. He is a yes man to the senile orange git who is destroying the USA with, wanting to use the US Cities as training grounds for troops breaking their constitution and unlawful orders.
