Duckworth: "How many nations are in ASEAN?"

I've got to admit that I couldn't answer that question. The acronym looks familiar - I'm fairly sure I've seen it. But I don't know what it is. So I learned about that today.

Then again, I'm not trying to be SECDEF.

I kind of like that Hegseth tried to BS his way through it. And in doing so didn't even try to answer the question. The correct answer is clearly going to be a number, not a list. (Unless maybe you're going to try to flex by naming them all to come to the total. Let's see, there's Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, so that's ... ummm ... 10.) Tells us a lot about who he is.
