Subject: Lloyd Austin vs Pete Hegseth
Austin, 71, is a four-star general with 41 years of service in the Army. He earned a Silver Star for his leadership in the Iraq War and later oversaw all combat operations in Iraq as commanding general of United States Forces, as well as military operations in Afghanistan in the 2010s.
Hegseth, a Trump loyalist who previously influenced the former president to pardon a group of military members accused of war crimes, has been outspoken against women serving in combat and is critical of what he calls a “woke” military.
No way does Hegseth qualify for the job. Come on Senators, reject this phony poser.
