The Pentagon is seething over a Washington Post report that top military leaders recently warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against extending large-scale Iran war operations.
People familiar with a classified assessment prepared for Hegseth told the Post that several combatant commanders have advised the Defense chief that prolonging operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening the U.S.’s ability to address threats elsewhere, including on U.S. soil.
The warnings appear in the Aug. 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB), detailed by the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and the four-star commanders overseeing U.S. operations throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America, the Post reported Sunday.
Frankly, it had to be very bad to get these guys to go as far as “non-concur” in writing at all.
Hegseth is literally unqualified to manage a large bureaucracy of any kind, evil or not, much less one with bombs and guns. I am guessing that it’s a day-to-day operational shit-show, on top of being the same type of moral and long-term-strategy shit-show that Iraq was.
As is his boss and most of that boss’ direct reports.
Are you claiming fox news anchors shouldn’t be running the executive branch of the United States? It feels like that should be a joke about what if things really went to hell but here we are.
I imagine it’s going as well as it did with the hidden destroyed bases
