There are many reasons for Trump to fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The embarrassingly pathetic military parade on Trump's birthday
is why Trump could soon fire Pete Hegseth, according to #WashingtonWeek.

Paul Rudnick: "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said he doesn't know what authority Trump's using to deploy troops to Los Angeles. He speculated: The statute is either called 'Happy Hour, Ladies Drink Free,' or 'Last Call'." #humor #VodkaPete

Trump's press secretary said: "Hegseth is doing phenomenal leading the Pentagon. This is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change you are trying to implement.”

It would be safer and easier to fire #VodkaPete Hegseth than it would be to fire the entire Pentagon.

Molly Jong-Fast: "What if being a weekend cable news host isn’t enough experience to lead a branch of the federal government with more than 3 million employees?"

"Can you keep a secret?" If Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is asked that, the honest answer is "No." First we learned of #Signalgate where #VodkaPete shared military secrets, by accident, with a journalist. Now we have #VodkaPete bringing "his wife to at least two meetings with foreign military leaders where sensitive information was discussed":

“To your knowledge, do you know whether Pete Hegseth had been drinking before he leaked classified information?” Rep. Jimmy Gomez asked Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard:

Jane Coaston: "Saying 'It's an ATTACK plan not a WAR plan' is very much like 'no, no, it's not drunk driving, I'm HIGH'."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was hired for that top job despite his lack of experience in running a huge organization and his carelessness with security. He was hired for his blind devotion to Trump and his ability to "lie directly into the cameras":
