just ask George Washington, who inoculated his troops against smallpox in 1777

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pe...erms-not-real/On a Feb. 10, 2019 edition of "Fox & Friends Sunday," Pete Hegseth explained that his 2019 New Year's resolution was "say things on air that I say off air."
Following through on that promise, he told his co-hosts that he had not washed his hands in 10 years because "germs are not a real thing. I can't see them, therefore they are not real." His co-hosts laughed at the remark.
Yeah he says he was joking but it's pretty believable
Hegseth's head is approximately as wise and witty as a cabbage
Super-unqualified Navy Secretary John C. Phelan steps down without explanation
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/0...y-out-00887887The “Trump Class” battleships were a major source of frustration for Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Stephen Feinberg because they did not align with the Pentagon’s broader strategy to pivot toward smaller, cheaper uncrewed ships, according to the two people, who, like others in this story, were granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.ive ships will cost the Pentagon billions to even begin developing, and are “not at all aligned with where Hegseth and Feinberg want to go,” the first person said.
Phelan had also recently seen some of his key responsibilities pulled away, according to a third and fourth person. They said Feinberg had taken over management of submarine programs and the Office of Management and Budget was already running the shipbuilding effort.
Phelan was in the lobby of the White House on Wednesday after the announcement was made, according to a person familiar with the matter. He was also seen on Capitol Hill that day. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Pentagon declined to comment on specifics about the battleship. Phelan could not be reached for comment.

anti-wokism is just bigotry
“Mr. Hegseth’s actions, which appear to violate the rules governing a promotion system that is supposed to be apolitical and merit-based, were described by four current and former defense officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.”
wanted special treatment for his special buddies

meritocracy appears to be affirmative action for mediocre white men in Hegseth's DOD
Pentagon rules allow the defense secretary to pull officers from promotion lists only for moral, mental, physical, or professional failings that raise questions about their fitness to lead. Hegseth, however, has not provided any explanation for the removals.https://www.themarysue.com/meritocra...enly-derailed/The officers selected for one-star rank are chosen through a rigorous process, where a board of admirals or generals reviews hundreds of personnel files over two weeks. Only about 5% of eligible officers make the cut, making it the most compe ive promotion board in the military.
The list is then reviewed by service secretaries and the defense secretary, who are supposed to intervene only in rare cases where new information raises questions about an officer’s qualifications. Hegseth’s actions, however, suggest a pattern of targeting officers who have participated in diversity-related initiatives, sometimes decades earlier.
One female officer removed from the list had served as a surface warfare officer, completed advanced nuclear power school, and was selected to be a top aide to a four-star admiral in the Pentagon. She was flagged by Hegseth after her name appeared on a website dedicated to purging “woke” military officers. It noted her past role as a diversity liaison officer, a position she held two decades ago to help recruit and retain women and minorities.
Hegseth hates the free press

should be interesting
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5...y-firings/amp/The House Armed Services Committee adopted a provision for the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would demand the Pentagon inform Congress why senior military officers were fired or dismissed within five days.
The requirement was introduced by Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) and was adopted Thursday without objections in a bipartisan voice vote.
The provision comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired two dozen senior military officers since taking the helm at the Pentagon, prompting bipartisan worries that experienced officials are being dismissed without explanation.
you can tell which ideologies are dangerous by the skin tint and national origin of the speakers
Hegseth disgraces his office and the country and needs to be removed
