How much longer til Hegseth gets fired/quits?

[Anonymous]

I think he won't last as SecDef through 2025. The alcohol, the carelessness, the disregard for people with military backgrounds.

The White House is publicly defending Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after he texted sensitive military information in a Signal chat. But behind the scenes, administration insiders are starting to express doubts about the Pentagon chief’s judgment.

Officials agree national security adviser Mike Waltz, who accidentally invited a journalist to a group chat with senior leaders, could more easily take the fall for a scandal that has embarrassed the administration — which may end up sparing Hegseth his job.

But Republican hawks, Pentagon officials and even some inside the White House now believe Hegseth also messed up by sending likely classified details from his phone. And that has the potential to undermine his credibility in the administration.

Because Trump clearly likes and has publicly exonerated Hegseth, “you’re not going to hear a huge public outcry,” said a senior GOP official on Capitol Hill who is close to the White House. “But, privately, there is a lot of concern about his judgment, more than with Waltz.”

Even for a Pentagon chief who has copied Trump’s pugilistic style — down to his Sharpie signature and campaign-style videos — Hegseth’s growing pile of mistakes are getting noticed, according to four officials and two people in touch with the administration.

“The problem is this is another example of inexperience,” said a person close to the White House, who like others, was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive issue. “What happens when Hegseth needs to manage a real crisis?”

I’m sorry but he’s doing a great job.

I was hoping he’d be out by today. He’s the definition of an idiotic Dunning Kruger D0uchebag.

How do active military members feel about Hegseth and his recklessness?

In what way?

You need to be prepared for no one in this administration getting fired unless they do something to anger Trump. There will be no accountability for the next 4+ years

Let’s be honest here, 8:02. You just hate the fact that he IS accountable. America voted OUT the Democrat Party of Death and Destruction.

No American has died in Afghanistan yet.

They have to find another position to fail him out to, and they have to find his DEI hire replacement.

10 more months and then he’ll get a soft landing back at his old job.

The man has a russian phone number. He is a national disgrace and liability, which means he isn't going out any time soon.

I guess you missed the part where over 50 civilians were killed in the Houthi attack, including women and children. And the delicious tidbit contained in the Signal chat where participants applauded the bringing down of an entire apartment building to get at one bad guy. Sadly, our government has always dealt in Death and Destruction, and this one is no different.

Yeah, that’s the part that got me. They were celebrating taking down an entire apartment building to get one guy?

It's sad. Hegseth is a national guard lightweight with a bunch of DUIs, several failed marriages with accusations of sexual assault, and was forced out of two veterans associations for misconduct. And now he holds the lives of enlisted men in his hands, when he's the type of guy you wouldn't even want to be your designated driver.

If anyone goes it will be Waltz. Trump won't ever admit that Hegseth was the worst choice ever for SECDEF.
