Crazy: Trump's pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, is a Fox News host who was the chief advocate for pardoning a bunch of Navy Seals who'd committed egregious war crimes (like stabbing a defenseless teenage POW to death in the case of Edward Gallagher). And he won, Trump pardoned and reinstated them...
He's also the founder of an advocacy group called "Vets for Freedom" which main aim was to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and pro-war candidates, an organization he headed for 5 years (from 2007 to 2012).
So the guy is quite literally a committed pro-Iraq war activist AND an advocate for the fact that US soldiers should face no accountability for war crimes. You could literally not think of a more rabid warmongering profile for the role.

He's also a massive cheerleader for the war in Ukraine where he believes "the future of the Western world is at stake"👇, wants to bomb Iran, believes that "God granted Abraham the land of Israel", etc.

Yup, literally this guy 👇 Only in the American empire can such a nutjob be put at the helm of a $1 trillion a year military...
If that doesn't scare you, I don't know what will...
