Re: “Democrats call for Hegseth and Waltz to resign” (March 26, Nation & World):
Throughout World Struggle II, the American public was often reminded that “unfastened lips sink ships,” i.e., talking unnecessarily about navy issues can jeopardize American navy belongings and operations. Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth would do properly to abide by this warning. His latest blabfest on Sign served no sensible objective even earlier than it was compounded by going down on an unsecured app.
It’s usually stated 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 at least one’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 vainness that at present pervades the Different Washington.
The inadvertent inclusion of the Atlantic journalist was simply the cherry on the highest.
