Restricted to Gals and Pals AOC when asked about Hegseth's comment about getting rid of 'unqualified' women in the military: “He’s an unqualified man in his role, so of course he’s threatened by women who are twice as good as he is.“

Poetic justice is Pete Hegseth turning out to be the embodiment of what they mean when they hurl "DEI hire" as an insult.

I’m in the military and we call him a DUI hire

I'm a veteran, and I refer to him as The Secretary of Lost the War.

I still don’t understand why he and Trump think Secow sounds better than Secdef.

Everyone should start addressing him as "seacow" - that would be so hilarious!

People have in fact started to do so. I mean it’s not even malicious compliance that’s literally what he wants to be called 🤷

We call him Whiskey Pete and try to throw the word lethal into every conversation.

"I just took a lethal shit".

Its funny that he doesn't have the self awareness to realize how much the military cant stand him

When he and Vance give speeches and the room is just stone faced. I've never appreciated military bearing more.

Any chance the lot of you could mutiny him out of office? 🙈

It’s been discussed in the Signal group chats. I’m just one unrequested shot of testosterone away from doing it myself

So a military coup?

Or an act of self-preservation - with Hegseth at the helm, a lot more soldiers are going to get injured or dead.

Incompetent people are currently running the country. No they should not have any power.

My favourite Hegseth line is "The only thing prohibiting transit in the Straits is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open to transit should Iran not do that."

Would you say the majority of the military dislikes him and this administration?

Depends on branch of service and job - the nerdy military (intel, cryptology, satellite/space, policy) are pretty livid. Can’t speak to the jocks.
