SecDef Hegseth feels that military rapists are excessively persecuted. Fellow pictured was accused of raping and then murdering a 14-year-old Iraqi girl in 2006.
Hmm, SecDef Hegseth says "You should not pay for an earnest mistake for your entire career.” I’m not aware of that happening too much. Sounds like he’s ***interpreting*** something as an honest mistake when it really wasn’t. Ah, okay. Our blogger feels Hegseth is talking about “sexual harassment, assault, and rape over the past decade or so. As well as every effort the military has made to combat racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, etc.“ That sounds like Hegseth would produce a really awful military environment. This will make the military MUCH weaker!
