It’s not stealing as it’s a common thought for anyone affected by alcoholism in their family. I had the same thought and posted it when Hegseth said this, too. Many of us are of common mind on this subject.
“No one has ever told me they’re concerned about my drinking.” Sure. But a bunch of folks told higher ups at two different Vet groups you helmed that you were a drunken irresponsible mess and you got axed. Drunk at work, drunk during an event that led to a settlement & NDA. You got a prob, dude.
Also, you have no qualifications for the job. Having been in the military does not make you qualified to be Secretary of Defense. My brother was a marine for 25 years. He’s not qualified to lead the Defense Department.
An old phrase rarely heard anymore is, “Don’t worry, they’re a functional alcoholic.” This is probably because there’s no such thing as a functional alcoholic. Alcoholism is a disease and people can’t quit chemical addictions cold turkey. He needs help, not a nomination for Secretary of Defence.
Hell I’d cut back on the booze if they let me run it. And I haven’t even been accused of doping and raping any women whether their job depended on me or not.
It also implies that Pete Hegseth has continued to drink even though he is in line for the job ... otherwise he would have stated that he had been sober for a specified time instead of trying to defend his addiction
Truly. Like bud, if your drinking costs you the job (even after dispatching mom to retract her truth) you should quit drinking. Either way bro, quit drinking. Your life has become unmanageable.

“I promise to stop drinking if you hire me to run your security department”
When is that encouraged or acceptable to any employer?
I’m sure if there was any pressure he certainly wouldn’t want to drink. You know, after he quits.
A tradition that we should have all unconfirmed cabinet nominees commit rather than withdraw their names.
Everyone knows that quitting an addictive substance isn't a promise anyone can make.
If you have to promise it to get something in return, you're doing what psychologists call " bargaining " an insincere and coerced lie.
well ok then”
And let me know if you want me to make any other promises I can't keep.
Seen here
Getting ready for work
Because he SAID it, he wouldn't qualify either.
Oh, wait ….
I presume that means he plans to continue doing those things

° He's sorry if you are offended.
° You made him do it.
And
° He'll never rape or beat or hurt you again.
Have I missed any classics?
I’ll quit drinking if you let me use a nuclear weapon
