Pete Hegseth may be the least qualified Secretary of Defense ever. So he's tried to may up for it by being a dick -- yelling a lot, shouting juvenile taunts like a schoolyard bully, and making death threats against entire nations.
If he were still just a regular dick on Fox News, that would be bad enough. But when he does it as the person overseeing America's armed force, it creates big problems. It makes it much easier for our enemies to rally support. Which really pisses off our allies. And nations who are on the fence. And all kinds of people who could help us, but don't like dicks.
This makes the job harder for our troops, who now have to be on guard against a much wider range of potential adversaries. And making the job harder means that more of them will get killed, or suffer horriffic injuries.
This is why military defense leaders who actually know what they're doing have long followed Teddy Roosevelt's admonition to "Speak softly and carry a bick stick." Not "scream loudly and be a big dick."
So please join us telling Hegseth: "Don't Put Our Troops in Danger By Being a Dick."
