Why is Pete Hegseth in the crosshairs?
Am I missing something?
Has he not done a great job with every task given to him?
The only military blunder committed was by Trump and Vance. They paused a war we were winning; dragged it out straight through to the midterms.
This was an easy win: crush Iran, occupy the Strait, declare victory, and get the hell out . This would've removed the uncertainty holding back the economy and removed the unnerving of an American public sick of war.
Trump made the same mistake every president (except H.W. Bush) has made since Vietnam -- this inhumane idea that there's such a thing as a humane war.
If you're going to go to war, GO TO WAR You bring flamethrowers to Iwo Jima, you firebomb Dresden, and you get it over with as quickly as possible.
The most humane thing you can do in war is win it as quickly as possible.
We saved a countless number of American lives dropping two atomic bombs on Japan, and we saved even more Japanese lives.
None of that is on Hegseth.
Hegseth didn't spend three months bellowing about how a peace treaty would be signed tomorrow, the regime was ready to collapse, and the war would only last a little longer.
Hell, Trump didn't even have to win. All he had to do was secure the Strait, and say that our victory was setting Iran's nuke program back a decade or so.
People don't really care about the Iran War. It's the high prices and uncertainty it caused -- especially by dragging it out.
That is all on Trump and Vance.
