The U.S. military has killed hundreds of noncombatants since gutting its Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response mission last year. After significant blowback, the Defense Department is considering partially restoring the program.
Shortly after taking office last year, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth polled the nation’s top commanders about cutting a program designed to protect civilians during U.S. military operations.
Hegseth had bet senior officers would endorse his view that focusing on civilian security was “woke” and out of step with “maximum lethality,” current and former defense officials told ProPublica.
Instead, every commander rebuffed the idea.

He just wants to murder his ex-wife so badly, that doing it by proxy via killing unarmed civilians and people in boats is his only coping method.
Remember him abusing his wife and making her fear for her life while he cheated on her with 5 different women?
What a fucking loser scumbag piece of shit. Just not enough expletives in the English lexicon to accurately describe what a fucking loser weak ass dip-shit this sorry excuse for a man is.

Hegseth is a psycho murderer, drunk, ex-Fox News host. Completely unqualified. Yet, here we are.

Kegsbreath is the type of "person" who would cut the program just because it sounds weak in his mind. Least qualified person for any position ever.
