The recent reports of Secretary Hegseth's inability to handle sensitive information and effectively communicate with military leaders raise alarming concerns about his capability to lead the Department of Defense. As civilians entrust the defense secretary with safeguarding national security, Hegseth's repeated displays of carelessness with classified matters and breakdown in communication channels are unacceptable for someone in such a crucial role. His actions directly undermine the military's operational readiness and compromise intelligence vital to protecting American lives. For the sake of our armed forces and the nation's defenses, it is imperative that Secretary Hegseth resigns to allow a replacement who can competently manage the complexities and grave responsibilities of this office.
