4. Yes boasting.....

He knows he is way, way, way above his limited abilities and pay grade where he actually belongs employment wise. The Peter Principal was written with people like Peter Hegseth in mind..... X 1,000.

Sourced from experimental Artificial Intelligence,....

The Peter Principle is a management theory that suggests employees in a hierarchy are promoted based on past performance, not their ability for the new role. This can lead to employees reaching a level where they are no longer competent, which can cause frustration and inefficiency. The theory was developed by Laurence J. Peter and Raymund Hull and published in their 1969 book The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong.

5. Sorry, Charlie...

Even though you finally saw the light, you were laying the foundation for this crap with your former self. You were more than happy to have the deplorables on your side when you and your ilk needed them. They dug their heels into that bullshit base and are still there.
