U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth "hid" how Iran had destroyed much of the main resupply base for the U.S. military in the Middle East, according to MS Now, as concerns grow about the conditions faced by sailors on board USS Abraham Lincoln.
The network's senior national security reporter David Rohde made the claim about the aircraft carrier, which, according to The New York Times, has faced supply problems since Iranian strikes hit the logistics hub Naval Support Activity Bahrain at the start of the war.
During a segment in MS Now discussing President Donald Trump's dismissal of reports of low morale and the mental health concerns of those aboard the carrier during an unusually long deployment, Rohde said the resupply issue was "because Pete Hegseth hid the fact that Iran destroyed the main resupply base that the United States has in the Gulf."
Relatives of the 5,000 personnel on board the Lincoln have raised the alarm over supply shortages, long work schedules and potential for self-harm.

His little workout demo was so pathetic. My high school football team looked better in the weight room.

I can't find it right now, but I saw a picture of him doing a seated dumbbell press with like 15s or something and his wrists were bent all to hell.

The resupply problems are easy to explain:
Pete Hegseth is a fucking idiot.

I agree, it's really bad. The immigrants and US citizens getting deported have it worse. We're a fucked up country right now.

Well, I thought about the Navy...
In this time of introspection
On the eve of my election
I say to my reflection
God, please spare me more rejection
'Cause my peers they criticize me
And my ex-wives all despise me
Try to put it all behind me
But my redneck past is nipping at my heels
I've been thinking a lot today

i mean, i get not telling the public. you want people to think you are winning the war, even though everyone knows you are incompetent and losing. but did i read that right and he hid it from the military itself?

Unfortunately there is one legal advantage of running a sycophancy, you genuinely don't hear bad news.
