Good analysis imo. The hate for Hegseth is out there from the left. He's safe and will work hard for Trump.



Why is Hegseth so important, and why do they want him out so much?

A Color Revolution is a kind of insurgency. An insurgency requires making people fear it more than the actual government.

Beyond being a decorated combat soldier, Hegseth was also a counter-insurgency instructor in the army for many years.

But it goes deeper. Hegseth is mediagenic and media savvy. He’s a charismatic communicator. And by all indications, a large number of troops love him.

In this way, he’s vastly more effective than an older SecDef who might have more political and policy sophistication.

This is important because with that level of support amongst the troops it makes it unlikely that any Deep State officers will be able to move their troops towards insurrection against the current administration.

Put another way, it’s not so much what he can get the military TO DO. It’s what he can prevent the military from doing.

And that’s why they are desperate to get rid of him.

I have two Marine buddies, both of them are “MARINES” through and through. Even though they are out and have been out for 15 years, they both still have that “look” in their eye from time to time if you know what I mean ….

both are hardcore Republicans, both think Hegseth is a complete toolbox …

Because he is. He has nothing in his history to indicate he's a man of quality or worth respect. My grand dad was a Marine, he would have hated Hegseth.

He's toast. If Trump doesn't fire him, he's getting impeached.

The American public deserves to see the footage of our troops murdering helpless, shipwrecked civilians during Operation Southern Spear.

He might have picked up an award for something, but he was a public information office in the military. That is a job for people no one else likes. Calling him a decorated combat veteran is misleading.
Yep. He was never in combat. Jd vance got closer to the sh*t than Hegseth.

Hegseth served in combat dickhead. If you dont have an answer you should shut your piehole. The only other answer is you lied on purpose.

Yes, Pete Hegseth served in the military and had combat deployments. [1, 2]
    • Military Service: Hegseth was commissioned as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army National Guard in 2003 and served as a major until 2021.
    • Deployments: He deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Iraq (supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom), and Afghanistan.
    • Combat Awards: He was awarded two Bronze Star Medals and the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), which is presented to infantry soldiers who personally fought in active ground combat.
    • Military Records & Evaluations: His service evaluations from his time in Iraq noted that he led an infantry platoon through months of combat operations, including air assault raids and base defense. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Cartel members and drug traffickers should be shown no quarter .

Hegseth should be fired, impeached … should’ve never gotten the job in the first place … but it’s **** like you posted why we are here.

they were drug runners and were dealt with accordingly
