Bold column and correct recommendation. I’ve seen this behavior in inexperienced leaders. They want to prove their value early, take stupid risks, and try to stand out when working together is required. Trump would be well served by someone committed to Trump’s agenda.

You fail completely to realize that we're done with people from Govt. You sound like someone from Govt. Pete has learned and is the aggressive masculine military man we need. Not bureaucratic minion minds. Ukraine isn't a place we want our tax dollars. Period. Stop acquiescing to the old ways. LGBT woke insanity is out. Old school chickenshit military members who would rather spend tax $ on absurd things, prosecute and jail infrantry for not being chickenshit like them, are out. Time to kick all preconceived old school out. People enter the military to become something other than act like men, should be publicly embarrassed, tarred and feathered. We need a war fighter not a suit. Trump isn't exact exemplary with respect to Ukraine and his read there. Putin isn't wrong. He may not be going about getting what he wants but he's not wrong. NATO is as corrupt as Israel and citizens are wakeing up to these things and more. So to end, compare to what Biden admin did, Pete will be just fine.

So how many mistakes does the Secretary of Defense get to make before it's too late?

Bro, you ate wrapped around the axel in supporting Pete. Rather than pick apart your “men should be men” argument, the bottom line is Hegseth is insubordinate. Trump knows what he wants and Hegseth is slow-walking it and embarrassing Trump. I’ve fired people for the same behavior. He should be fired, no question. If not, it’ll keep happening. And BTW, Hegseth isn’t much of a man of he can’t be a good teammate.
