If he is as severe an alcoholic as has been described, he belongs in rehab, not in charge of the Pentagon Rhiannon12866 Jun 26 #4

You're completely right, all Hegseth has to do is say something TFG doesn't like or disagrees with his decrees Rhiannon12866 Jun 26 #6

“I am unaware of any intelligence.” He’s an alcoholic always ready for that next drink. If The distance between drinks gets long the anger intensifies. Like trump he’s never wrong. Neither one has any awareness that there is strength in humility.

And it's also dangerous to go "cold turkey," he needs medication and supervision if he tries to quit, he could go into serious withdrawal.

The gop current method of decision making.

Hegseth has no qualifications to be SECDEF. I’ve become CAPT Obvious tonight. So far trump has yet to surround him with 100% yes men. General Caine has hold of steerage so far. But some right wing lunatic will whisper in trumps ear and hegseth will be gone.
