18. Pete Hegseth is pushing his stupid F'ing lethality BS
Mon Feb 16, 2026, 03:36 PM

He's prone to hyperbole and moving people around to keep them on alert, because he's a paranoid, vainglorious drunk in way over his head but trying desperately to appease the bigoted, shortsighted and equally vainglorious chicken hawks he takes orders from - his pastor/God Talker and "commander in chief"
I'm more worried about his collaborations with DHS and willingness to slaughter fellow countrymen for his ideals than going to war.

Like most ideological bullies, he's terrified of going up against a reasonably strong, organized opponent that might successfully fight back and make him look weak.
