MAGA Partisan PAWN Hegseth TAKES the Pentagon
In a global crisis, the Senate bets on inexperience.
The Senate’s razor-thin confirmation of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense isn’t just controversial—it’s a profoundly unsettling moment for the nation’s military leadership. Vice President JD Vance broke the tie, with Republicans Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski crossing the aisle against the pick. Hegseth, best known for his time as a Fox News host and fiery partisan rhetoric, now holds the reins of the Pentagon despite glaring questions about his qualifications, judgment, and fitness for the job.
Hegseth’s combat service and veteran advocacy might resonate with some, but they don’t erase the red flags. Allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement, as well as divisive leadership, paint a troubling picture. His vocal disdain for diversity and inclusion policies, including opposition to women in combat roles and LGBTQ+ rights, signals a rollback of the hard-fought progress that has strengthened the modern armed forces. This is not leadership—it’s regression dressed as tradition.

Given the current geopolitical landscape, Hegseth’s lack of high-level defense strategy experience is particularly alarming. With China flexing its military might, Russia waging war in Eastern Europe, and tensions rising in the Middle East, the need for steady, experienced leadership at the Pentagon has never been more critical. America cannot afford a Defense Secretary who lacks the strategic expertise to navigate these challenges, especially as adversaries grow bolder and alliances grow more fragile.
The Pentagon deserves a leader who unites, not divides, who builds on progress, not tears it down. Hegseth’s confirmation reeks of partisan favoritism and sets a dangerous precedent for politicizing America’s armed forces. It’s not just a reckless appointment—it’s a gamble with the military's strength, integrity, and future. At a time when national security demands expertise and unity, the Senate’s decision feels less like a step forward and more like a march toward chaos.
The III. Reich in Germany under Hitler had WWI air force fighter ace Hermann Goering as commander in chief of the air force. Somebody apparently with a lot more experience then PH. Nevertheless, due to his opium addiction, vainglory, lust and greed for power, corruption and enriching himself, it all went south. At the height of the war he was as useless as .......
Here the respective excerpt from Wikipedia:
A veteran World War I fighter pilot ace, Göring was a recipient of the Pour le Mérite. He also served as the last commander of Jagdgeschwader 1 (JG I), the fighter wing once led by Manfred von Richthofen. An early member of the Nazi Party, Göring was among those wounded in Adolf Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. While receiving treatment for his injuries, he developed an addiction to morphine which persisted until the last year of his life. After Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Göring was named as minister without portfolio in the new government. One of his first acts as a cabinet minister was to oversee the creation of the Gestapo, which he ceded to Heinrich Himmler in 1934.
Following the establishment of the Nazi state, Göring amassed power and political capital to become the second most powerful man in Germany. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe (air force), a position he held until the final days of the regime. Upon being named Plenipotentiary of the Four Year Plan in 1936, Göring was entrusted with the task of mobilizing all sectors of the economy for war, an assignment which brought numerous government agencies under his control. In September 1939, Hitler gave a speech to the Reichstag designating him as his successor. After the Fall of France in 1940, he was bestowed the specially created rank of Reichsmarschall, which gave him seniority over all officers in Germany's armed forces.
By 1941, Göring was at the peak of his power and influence. As the Second World War progressed, Göring's standing with Hitler and the German public declined after the Luftwaffe proved incapable of preventing the Allied bombing of Germany's cities and resupplying surrounded Axis forces in Stalingrad. Around that time, Göring increasingly withdrew from military and political affairs to devote his attention to collecting property and artwork, much of which was stolen from Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Informed on 22 April 1945 that Hitler intended to commit suicide, Göring sent a telegram to Hitler requesting his permission to assume leadership of the Reich. Considering his request an act of treason, Hitler removed Göring from all his positions, expelled him from the party, and ordered his arrest.
After the war, Göring was convicted of conspiracy, crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials in 1946. He requested at trial for an execution by firing squad, but was denied, and instead he was sentenced to death by hanging. He committed suicide by ingesting cyanide the night before his scheduled execution.
This is really dangerous! I don’t think people realizes it. I hope we have a way within the arm forces to reject this Nazi ruling. He will totally support using the military against US citizens. Take note!
