The Thriller
Well-Known Member
Anyone else find this type of mentality alarming for someone who craves being the Sec of Defense? This comes from his book. Isn’t this a bit extreme? Or is this just fine and normal for you right wingers? What does “utter annihilation” mean? And “guns… yet?” What message is he trying to convey?
You just don’t see this type of rhetoric for Democratic cabinet secretaries. And this is without taking into consideration Hegseth’s extensive history of sexual abuse, defending war criminals, and demands that women leave the military. I know for some of you, this will be the only place you hear this news about Hegseth. Fox News and dudebro podcasts sure aren’t going to tell you the truth about him. So before you mindlessly post defending your tribe mate, pause and think for a few minutes. Is this really someone I am going to defend?

The clearest through line of all three books is the application of Hegseth’s wartime mentality to his struggle against domestic opponents. American Crusade calls for the “categorical defeat of the Left,” with the goal of “utter annihilation,” without which “America cannot, and will not, survive.” Are the Crusades just a metaphor? Sort of, but not really: “Our American Crusade is not about literal swords, and our fight is not with guns. Yet.”

Donald Trump’s Most Dangerous Cabinet Pick
Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.
