An Open Letter

October 1

Senators, enough already. We already know that Pete Hegseth, an unqualified, inept, alcoholic frat boy is unfit to lead our Department of DEFENSE. After his atrocious "State of the Force" address on Wednesday afternoon, Hegseth claimes that now Elon Musk, Newt Gingrich, and Palmer Luckey are the new heads of "Project Meridien". I know you all are cowards who are part of the Trump regime, but certainly this is enough to make your head spin. The richest man in the world, in charge of our military? And not one of these men has any military experience whatsoever. In addition, Hegseth is going to slash a 5th of all military leadership and replace them with Trump loyalists, yet again adding more unqualified, ineffective, inept people to do jobs that they have no business doing. They are Trump's "yes men". And it is not lost on the American people that Hegseth and Trump are doing whatever they can to plump up the military in their favor so they can continue with their coup. Senators, our Armed Forces are not a toy or a video game. The sake of our country's safety is at stake. It is time to admit you made a mistake with confirming Hegseth and remove him immediately. He is a danger. If it weren't so scary and dangerous, the whole Hegseth fiasco would be funny. Watching him do his pumped up, frat boy TED talks? It's kind of hilarious. Except it's not, because our country is at risk, and he is making a mockery of our Armed Forces. Please, if you all decide to do anything right during the remainder of this Congressional session, remove Hegseth immediately.
