Hegseth’s speech reminds me of Katy Perry’s trip to space.

I don’t think it’ll be received the way he thought it would.

He put our military leaders’ security at risk and wasted millions to call them fat and lazy.

Bizarre

1 It leaves duty stations around the world without top leaders
2 It's not how the chain of command works. Sec Def's orders should be disseminated down thru the Joint Chiefs
3 It's a logistical nightmare to execute in less than a week, not to mention expensive
4 It's a massive security risk
