I learned today what a madman Hegseth is... [View all]

NPR did a show today about Hegseth and I caught part of it.

Hegseth has christian-crusades tats, a lot of them. He is an extremist RW religious nut.
He has fired many military chaplains, they were not extreme enough for him.

He has said stuff like, "the military is fighting for Jesus."
Ahhh....hey you fool. No! What the hell is that?

Anyway, I have ignored him for the most part until today. He is a lunatic!
