DEAR EDITOR:
Is there no low this Trump administration will sink into to cover their backside?
No former, retired or active duty military would believe the bold-faced lies that attack plans can be transmitted over unprotected signal lines. The arrogance and stupidity of the Trump cabinet who follows an untreated alcoholic Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will cause harm and death to those serving their country out of patriotism.
Those of us veterans who have served our country know Pete Hegseth achieved the lowest field grade officer rank of Major. Other than his big mouth and blind worship of Donald Trump he is unqualified to be our Nation's Secretary of Defense. Most importantly, the flagrant ignoring of his obvious disease of alcoholism allows him to exercise the poorest judgement over our Nation's safety. Keep in mind he will compromise the most powerful military in the world because of his alcoholism.
Now if he is not fired or charged with crimes under the espionage act then we will learn the fate all empires have fallen under in history.
Don't get me wrong. I will never disparage anyone who suffers from the illness of alcoholism. Pete Hegseth told America he would never again have a drop of alcohol once confirmed as Secretary of Defense. How many of us with alcoholic family or friends have heard this promise before when the alcoholic got caught with a DUI or other offense. Experience confirms the alcoholic is never able to quit without professional help.
Sane and level heads must step in to correct this assault on our national security. I am begging rational Republicans to protect our citizenry and join a bipartisan legislative move to end this treachery.
