"Don't blame me, I didn't do it!" says Hairspray-fog Pete Hegseth (probably)
Personally, I have no problems with the USA DOD Secretary of Defense.
I am a concerned citizen.
I am not actively a member of the USA DOD, civilian or military.
I do not communicate directly or indirectly with anyone
My complaint should be completely obvious, unless you're a complete dim-wit and you have not even tried to understand my posts.
I am a concerned citizen and I have reason to believe Donald J. Trump is a crook. He hires only other crooks.
Look at the shameful conduct of Pete Hegseth.
The mainstream-media reports that he knowingly shared secret military information with his wife.
Not just his wife but his *third* wife. Who knows where that woman comes from.
He is a fairly young guy but is already on his third wife. Perhaps working now towards his fourth?
So something is very, very wrong with that guy, seems to me.
The mainstream-media reports that the USA military opposed that guy because of his alleged White "Supremacist" symbols
I am fairly certain those guys bend over for those other guy for one reason: they have always been weak, little guys.
And that explains the attraction of Donald J. Trump to Pete Hegseth.
Now I am reading that forces are building for a strike against Iran and I am believing it will happen.
The mainstream-media blames Trump's involvement with Epstein for creating the distraction.
When *you* elect scumbags such as Donald J. Trump and Bill Clinton, among others, then they risk lives of USA military to distract from their past scumbag misbehaviors.
So now I am guessing what comes next from those scumbags.
Maybe Iran deserves what they get from the USA military.
I am looking at this from the standpoint of "why now"

The US Navy sacked a destroyer captain after a ship collision. The incident spotlighted the risks of resupplies at sea.

The US Navy abruptly fired the commander of guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun after his ship collided with a logistics vessel during a resupply operation at sea earlier this month.
Rear Adm. Carlos Sardiello, who leads US Naval Forces Southern Command and 4th Fleet, relieved Cmdr. James Koffi on Sunday.
The ship collision that resulted in a "loss of confidence" and cost Koffi his command occurred during a replenishment-at-sea operation involving USNS Supply, a fast combat support ship, the Navy said in a statement on the relief.
The cause of the ship collision remains under investigation but highlights the risks of at-sea logistics and the challenges of keeping naval forces on the move.
Replenishments-at-sea are resupplies in which one ship sails closely alongside another to transfer supplies such as fuel or ammunition. These missions are routine operations that support global naval activity by allowing vessels to remain at sea, rather than forcing them to return to port.
At-sea replenishments carry risks, though, that can be exacerbated by a range of factors beyond proximity, such as sea state, crew fatigue, communication breakdowns, and equipment failures.
Two personnel sustained minor injuries during the February 11 collision between the Truxton and Supply.

Ford carrier group arrives in Mediterranean, bringing more potential strike options against Iran
By ALISON BATH STARS AND STRIPES February 20, 2026
NAPLES, Italy — The arrival of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group in the Mediterranean Sea on Friday brings a naval firepower boost as the U.S. amasses airstrike capabilities in the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran.
The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford and presumably its escorts, the destroyers USS Winston S. Churchill, USS Bainbridge and USS Mahan, transited the Strait of Gibraltar on Friday, photographs posted by local ship watchers show.
The Pentagon declined comment Friday on Ford’s status, saying it did not have any information to provide.
The presence of Ford along with the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group in the Arabian Sea once again introduces a dual-carrier presence in the region.
The U.S. is working to strike a deal with Iran to end Tehran’s nuclear program and get rid of its enriched uranium, among other demands.
The two countries made progress during talks earlier this week in Geneva, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi describing them as positive and more serious than discussions earlier this month in Oman, CNN reported on Tuesday.
But on Thursday, President Donald Trump hinted that U.S. action against Iran could come as soon as 10 days.
