Re: “Democrats call for Hegseth and Waltz to resign” (March 26, Nation & World):
Throughout World Struggle II, the American public was regularly reminded that “unfastened lips sink ships,” i.e., talking unnecessarily about army issues can jeopardize American army belongings and operations. Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth would do properly to abide by this warning. His current blabfest on Sign served no sensible function even earlier than it was compounded by happening on an unsecured app.
It’s usually mentioned that info in Washington, D.C., is forex, and Made-for-TV Pete couldn’t forgo a chance to strut his stuff by sharing the wealth. It was clearly simply one other occasion of pandering to 1’s insider cronies, and his predictable reward was a bathe of “Go get’em, Pete!” cheers and emojis. It was simply one other show of the shallow self-importance that at present pervades the Different Washington.
The inadvertent inclusion of the Atlantic journalist was simply the cherry on the highest.
