"Two months in, on an existential fight for the safety of the American people, Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, we are proud of this undertaking," Hegseth said in his opening remarks before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday.

This is big fat LIE and the "go to" lie which this administration has decided to use as their main propaganda message to justify their unprovoked, completely unjustified war.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in his first appearance before Congress since the Iran war started, downplayed the length of the war and said the biggest "adversary" the U.S. faces at this point in the war is the "reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans."

Actually, it's the 180 degree diametrically opposed polar opposite of this. People like me speaking up, do so because WE CARE about America, Americans and the rest of the world. WE CARE about the American military that Donald Trump puts in harms way for his agenda(to serve Netanyahu/Israel).

I think about the tremendously negative mindset and psychological damage being done to our people in the military  who have to deal with the consequences of fighting in a war. Killing innocent people for powerful psychopaths because they pledged allegiance and dedication to a country that is led by a psychopath who is USING THEM for an endeavor that is very unpopular in the United States and EXTRAORDINARILY unpopular around the world with ZERO NATO or other allies joining us. Our military KNOWS that the vast majority of Americans do NOT support this war and the entire world(outside of Israel) really, REALLY is against this war.

They know this war is causing the worst global energy crisis in history.

MAKING THEM do this anyways is supporting our military?

Pretending that God is on our side and using religion to justify this war?

This unqualified, servant to Donald Trump that got the job by being a weekend anchor at Fox News(seriously that was why he was appointed)  that is profoundly abusing our wonderful men and women in the military, taking advantage of their loyalty, patriotic, life risking dedication to serving the United States of America is off the charts offensive to me!

Pete Hegseth, you are a very offensive man to me. You have no understanding of what it means to be a soldier or to serve our country. You have no empathy for the soldiers you lead or for human beings. How do you think the men/women responsible for bombing the girls school in Iran and killing over 100 innocent people feel? Those were young children with the rest of their lives ahead of them.............snuffed out for NO GOOD REASON, along with thousands of other innocent people that our military killed because they were ordered to do it. 

For what? A completely made up reason about nuclear weapons buried deeply underground!

These are not all ROBOTS with no emotions that don't care about other INNOCENT human beings that they kill for a made up reason.

The uncounted casualties of war: suicide in combat veterans

This is on you, Pete Hegseth. Blindly serving a psychopath, who is the most powerful man in the world that appointed you because you pledged allegiance to him, Donald Trump. Constantly adulating Donald Trump as if he's your God and even worse, using (FAKE) religion to justify your war while defiling all the basic principles of that religion in doing it.
