"It says that we don't care about their lives," Duckworth says. "We ask our servicemen and women to be tactically proficient, technically proficient, so that they can do their jobs under any conditions.”
Sen T. Duckworth combat vet regarding Pete Hegseth’s nomination.
Hegseth and Trump would create those conditions on allied and American soil - Both unqualified AF.
Lloyd Austin III is a former four-star General with FORTY-ONE YEARS IN UNIFORM, and he's being replaced by Hegseth? Crazy world, isn't it? Republicans have lost all credibility. What happened to them?
Thanks Senator Duckworth for everything.

He managed ~200 people. He is unqualified.
i couldn't help humming this with glee.
CRAVEN.
My word for this inauguration week.
...contemptibly lacking in courage; cowardly...
"a craven abdication of his moral duty"
THEY ARE ALL CRAVEN!
For what?
What do they get out of the deal?
Being a Trump-owned Senator has no real power.
That's what Trump and the GOP want in their qualified people.
This is boundary testing for Trump and teaching the Senate to obey his orders.
Now that he’s established that they’re expected to obey on this they’re expected to fall in line for everything further.
All the racist Generals and DoD wonks will basically do Pete Hegseth's job for him to maintain the white hegemonic image merit, excellence and intelligence.
