In light of the current OpSec scandal, it seems like as good a time as any to re-up the video of Pete Hegseth accidentally hitting a man with an ax on Fox & Friends like a decade ago

Yeah. I’m getting a maintenance drinking vibe from Pete, too. Unless he has a different type of alcoholism than I do (very doubtful), that’s only gonna escalate. Fun times…
Drummers always make the most significant sacrifices. During the Colonial War, the opposing force often shot them, and then another brave soul would drop their gun, pick up the drum, and march it forward in battle, playing it.
that drummer was a registered democrat. the drummer's wife worked for hillary clinton. one of the most anti-trump drummers around. this video is more media lies. no collusion!
When people say Pete Hegseth has no experience for his current job, this video proves them wrong. He, clearly, does have experiencing putting people in uniform in danger through his negligence, incompetence, and unquenchable need to show off.
Except Pete axed a USMC drummer, so likely a smarty-pants college-educated libural.
I’m shocked DoD bands aren’t in Elon/DOGE crosshairs, as the entire purpose of military bands is to increase goodwill for US around the Globe (incl. w/ NATO allies)?
He’s a bandsman, someone who generally is more educated than the average grunt who enlists in the military (entry into a band career field requires audition, so ability to sight-read, play various percussion instrument in different styles, etc).
Yeah, but those are RETIRED DoD bandsmen, so not on active duty (& a few of them look a bit too young to be “retired”; troops can serve for 4 yrs and then separate, so even though they played music in the military as their duty, they’re not “retirees”.)
Thanks, but as a vet (Sgt turned officer), I’m pretty familiar with how retirement works in the military (I separated at the 9 yr point, so almost 1/2 way to being retirement eligible under the old “top 3” plan).
I happen to know the axe victim Jeff Prosperie. An impeccable human and an absolute legend in the marching percussion community. And very fortunate that this wasn't much worse. But based on the lawsuit, it was worse than it appeared at the time.
You realize the man who was hit should have expected a Fox weekend network stooge would be flinging an ax in the vicinity haphazardly…remember he was army trained to be a lean mean killing machine
The car at the end seems to be even crazier than the incompetent axe-throwing setup because the car appears to have the engine on and the handbrake off. I am not a mechanic but that seems like madness.
In all fairness to Hegseth, in this situation, the person that set up the target and decided to place the drummers on the opposite side of it are responsible for this accident.
But, yeah, the incompetence runs wild with that crowd.
In all fairness someone with a fucking brain would have looked at the setup and been like "nah. you gotta move those people away from the target."
No excuse for such idiocy.
You NEVER shoot or throw at a target with anyone around it.
That's why people who organize these things have to make sure they're safe around someone without a brain.
There's a lot to dislike about the guy; but this is a reasonable fuck-up I might expect from almost anyone taken to an axe throwing event, handed an axe, and told to throw it.
I am a barely competent human being. When I set up our target in the backyard I made sure it had a full backstop. No place for anybody behind it. This was designed for disaster.

1. If Hegseth has stopped drinking, he's going through a shaky couple of years during which he should hold no position of authority.
2. That man is day-drinking.

DT Admin doesn’t seem to give 🐀’s 🍑 about that.
Here’s an example:

Except when he is asked about drunk texting secret war plans.

Also, what fucking moron thought that setup was good for throwing axes in public?
Who is likely now part of his chain of command.
UNAPOLOGETIC ALPHA MALE PETE HEGSETH cowers and cringes like a common soy boy upon failing to murder target with throwing axe

Everyone was drunk.
