[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I want to see Hegseth go all Kavanaugh during his confirmation: "Yes, we drank beer. My friends and I. Boys and girls. Yes, we drank beer. I liked beer. Still like beer. We drank beer."[/quote]

Me too. I don't care that he used to binge drink, as long as he doesn't do it while he's SECDEF. And, he seems to socialize in circles were drinking is just extremely common.  So it's even clear that he has a drinking problem.  Also, no one had a problem with McCrystal.[/quote]

lol He has admitted to not being able to control his drinking but you do you. Appoint the drunk captain who has been fired from two vet scamming  non profits. If something bad happens you can always blame Nancy Pelosi.  :lol:

He will be confirmed without hearing by Wednesday.[/quote]

He hasn't admitted it. He said he used to drink a lot and that if confirmed, he won't drink during his term as SECDEF. The vet organizations have also come out with public statements that Pete wasn't forced out, that he left on good terms. So Im going to ignore that entirely. The only thing they can seem to find on the guy is that he drinks. I hate to break it to people, but people in the military often binge drink. At the officer level, in the recent past, officers had to attend dinners where they were encouraged to drink as much as possible. I dont condone that at all, but it was a fact of military culture at the time he served. He may or may not have a drinking problem. Many people go from existing and partaking in that culture to just being normal. [/quote]

People most certainly do not go from having a drinking problem to just being normal without serious treatment.  And most will have multiple relapses.[/quote]
