57. Hegseth is an extremist...

... in every regard. He doesn't just drink, he gets shitfaced, blackout drunk. And he's a semiliterate sociopath who cannot be trusted to make complex decisions on issues that potentially involve the loss of innocent lives, as well as the lives of our servicemen and -women. Just like his psychotic boss, he is pathologically selfish, and doesn't consider people he can't see or touch as real human beings, so their loss has no real meaning for him, and he dismisses any concern for the consequences of his actions.
Now he's shitfaced drunk with power that he doesn't possess the mental faculties to wield responsibly. But he wasn't hired in spite of those shortcomings, but because of them. Russell Vought's bible of malice and depravity, better know as Project 2025, specifically stated, though often couched in seemingly benign language, that terrorizing the populace, and the world in general, with extreme policies that are implemented with unwarranted savagery, is the quickest path to ensuring compliance with any future plans to establish Feudalism v.2.
