Hegseth is committing treason. right now. In broad daylight [View all]

In the middle of a war he is gutting our military leadership. This is giving "aid and comfort" to Iran, by reducing our abilities militarily, and he should spend the rest of his life in prison for it (If I didn't oppose the death penalty, my thoughts on what his punishment should be would be different. so i settle for life in prison).

Hegseth’s Thursday night purge of Generals continues.

The Armed Services Commitee must demand he and Army Secretary Dan Driscoll answer questions immediately.

And, see if their stories match.

This is all very unprecedented and alarming. Especially in a time of war.🚨🇺🇸
