“Reading news stories about the confirmation of Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, I was struck by the irrelevance of most of the debate, focused largely on the claim that he drank to much, was unfaithful to his wife, treated women badly. All of that, not surprising in a soldier, may be true but is almost entirely irrelevant to whether he would do a good job as defense secretary.” (01/27/25)
