The Atlantics Missy Ryan, Vivian Salama, Michael Scherer, and Nancy A. Youssef share a byline on the report titled, The Pentagon May Not Be Telling Trump the Full Picture About the War.
The report cited two senior administration officials recalling that the vice president has queried the accuracy of the information the Pentagon has provided about the war. He has also expressed his concerns about the availability of certain missile systems in discussions with President Trump.

Vance would have filtered it down more, right down to . . . all going to plan!
All to protect the walls from ketchup stains, of course.

Hegseth, on the other hand, is loving the war like it's the latest first-person-shooter video game.

(9,155 posts)Hegseth is an easy target. He is stupid, arrogant, and appears to revel in his power as Secretary of Defense, while at the same time having no clue as to how run the military.
He's also universally disliked.
