7. This is a rant

Hegseth loves to use the word "warrior." He is not a warrior. He's a fucking rear echelon motherfucker who spent a year in Iraq in the rear with the beer. Then he got himself tattooed all over to prove what a warrior he is.

I'm 80. I -- as did many other DUers -- spent a year in the bush in Vietnam humping a 60-pound rucksack, an M-16, and a Kabar. Don't know what a Kabar is? Look it up. Most of us brought our Kabars home with us. Mine has blood stains on the leather grip.

Hegseth does three sets of 50 pushups daily . . . at least that's what he says. I do three sets of 40 daily, so, shove your girlie pushups up your ass, Pete.

Hegseth was a National Guard platoon leader in Iraq -- his platoon was responsible for base security -- they stayed inside the wire, standing guard in bunkers and smoking weed. He reached the minimal rank of major. I won't tell anyone the rank at which I retired but suffice it to say I would never initiate a salute with him.

Pete Hogsbreath is a worthless turd. Which is why Trump appointed him. Birds of a feather . . . .
