As a CO of several Commands I learned early, you aren’t going to make everyone happy but do what is right and expected of you to make your Command the most warfare ready and take the heat from a few, usually anomalous . Listen to your JOs/Enlisted folks, they usually have great inputs-they are in the trenches. I get a kick when anomalous Senior Civilians/Flags say Hegseth has a junior officer mentality. Well it is our junior Officers/Enlisted that fight the battles and win. They know what it takes.

It’s a good read. Not to be cynical, but I learned long ago that Eisenhower was correct. You can actually go even further back to Smedley Butler. War is a business. Peace is bad for business. They don’t hate Hegseth for any other reason than he is cleaning out the weakness from the top down. Fighting for this country might actually mean something again one day. Actual mission accomplishment instead offering the American fighting man up as sacrifice for the corrupt machine.
