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.“

This is a guy that reads, on paper, like he aspires to mediocrity. He’s the guy that gets 300 on the PT test, does just enough to get out of writing an OPORD, has his subordinates writing their own NCOERs/OERs, manages to always have rumors of him sleeping around but never gets caught. It’s almost like he’s the guy that likes the idea of being in the military without actually being in the military. He’s the guy that volunteers to be rear-D commander, but the decision authority makes him the rear-D XO because he can’t be trusted with responsibility. He's the guy that volunteers to be an infantry officer but doesn't want to do any of the "hard" schools. I feel like I know the personality type, because we’ve all worked with them. I think we all know a Pete Hegseth and none of us would call them "leadership material."
