Donald Trump and maga Republicans must fire Pete Hegseth he is creating "killing everything" culture a danger to the public

Pete Hegseth (aka "Whiskey Pete") is being mercilessly mocked behind his back in the Pentagon, according to insiders.
Echo report by Erin Keller, published in The Independent, the Daily Beast and Yahoo.com

Staffers reportedly furnished the self-proclaimed “secretary of war” with a brutal new moniker that leans on his insatiable appetite for war and obsession with killing: “Dumb McNamara.”

The businessman turned statesman is often credited with bringing the U.S. into the war, a conflict that killed between 1.4 million and 3.5 million people. He pushed so hard for more U.S. involvement in the conflict that it was eventually dubbed “McNamara’s (Failed) War.”
Current and former U.S. officials have told Zeteo that the former (Fake) Fox and Friends host is being painted as a dumb version of Robert McNamara, the defense secretary who became a symbol of America’s failures in the Vietnam War.

Hegseth, for his part, acted as one of the main cheerleaders of Donald Trump’s war in Iran. In fact, Trump even credited, or blamed, him for promoting it so ardently. “Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, ‘Let’s do it,’” (OMG
❗😓) Trump said during an engagement in Tennessee earlier this week.

McNamara, who was defense secretary under both President John F. Kennedy and President Lyndon B. Johnson from 1961 to 1968, repeatedly gave glowing assessments about the U.S. military’s performance in Vietnam, despite knowing full well, as declassified papers later revealed, that the conflict had turned into a disaster.

He famously reversed course midway through his tenure in 1967, when he belatedly began to openly advocate against the war.

That year, in 1967, he commissioned what became known as the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret investigation that questioned the wisdom of American involvement in the war.

Hegseth appears to have no such inclination. “We negotiate with bombs,” he said Tuesday. “You have a choice, as we loiter over the top of Tehran.” 

(IOW: George Santayana in 1905, as "Those who cannot remember the past- history- are condemned to repeat it".)

The next day, Hegseth stood at the Pentagon’s first monthly worship service since the Iran war began and prayed not for peace, but for what he called “overwhelming violence” against America’s enemies.

“Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation,” Hegseth said. “Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.” (Psalms 25:10-
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth toward those who honor his covenant and decrees.”)

The Hegseth (aka Dumb McNamara) irreverent service comes as a lawsuit challenges religious activities and policies within the Defense Department.
