Alt title: Pete Hegseth claims US military is unprepared for war in wide-ranging speech
I can't believe that the survival of US democracy comes down to that.
We don’t need armed service members in standoffs with (mostly peaceful) protestors.
Send them to Ukraine or Gaza if you want them to get some real experience, maybe Hegseth can even go lead them and show us how tough he is!
Civil War doesn't sound so crazy anymore.
