There is no longer any market for sanity in America. A case in point is Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
Would-be Secretary Pete says, "You need to fire a ton of generals." ("Pete Hegseth's plan to overhaul America's military," ABC News, 11-14-24)
Regarding installing new generals, he adds, "Either you're in for warfighting, and that's it. That's the only litmus test we care about."
Secretary Pete doesn't see any role for diplomacy, peace, education, welfare, health care… just death and destruction. He is the ultimate MAGA muscle man.
With this kind of mentality, Hegseth is sure to feel all warm and fuzzy about unleashing his new generals on America's internal enemies--you know, Democrats and traditional Republicans.
Mr. Hegseth, the whole purpose of democracy for the past 500 years has been to educate everyone so all can live in domestic tranquility and international peace. Ever show up to church on the Sabbath where they talk about loving thy neighbor?
