Oh, sheesh, look at what Pete Hegseth said in 2016. Said Military won’t follow “Unlawful orders”. See also this event. Remember how, very recently, Grumpa Trump called for Mark Kelly to be investigated after saying troops should refuse illegal orders? Yeah.
And then it turned out that Hegseth, by attacking fishing boats in Venezuela outside of Congress and then going back on a second strike to murder anyone they didn’t get the first time, was committing a crime?
…. and more, the man is not competent to run the Depart of Defense

Yesterday, a Pentagon investigation said that Hegseth’s use of Signal could have endangered troops. Well, we all know that but it’s actually heartening to see the Pentagon agree.
WASHINGTON – A Pentagon watchdog found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked the safety of American troops and their mission when he discussed a covert military operation in Yemen over the commercial messaging app Signal, but that he had the right to declassify the information, according to a person who has seen the report.
The investigation by the Pentagon’s inspector general was launched after Hegseth shared plans for a U.S. attack on Houthi forces in Yemen on a Signal chat with other administration officials. The messages included the times that bombs would be dropped and were published after the fact by The Atlantic, whose editor, Jeffrey Goldberg, was mistakenly added to the group chat.
