And I've learned that it does run in families. I've often thought that Hegseth needed to be sent to rehab, not given the Pentagon's top job. Drinkers like him can't just stop immediately without help - plus it's dangerous and few succeed on their own.

I have to agree, I've been in AA for over 16 years. Hegseth needs immediate help, not a job that affects thousands. Rhiannon12866 Apr 21 #2

He should follow the example of Hunter Biden, whom they defamed so much, and deal with his addiction Walleye Apr 21 #5

I don't believe that Hegseth has taken that first step, admitting that he has a problem. Rhiannon12866 Apr 21 #6

No, he is still in strong, aggressive denial about it. The worst stage. Walleye Apr 21 #7
