Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) grilled #Hegseth over an attack that killed six service members working out of a makeshift office space in Kuwait’s port city of Shuaiba.
"Officers on the ground knew our troops were vulnerable. They requested additional force protection. Did they receive it?”
"I’ll save you the time, they did not,” Ryan said. “When asked to describe the base’s defense, one survivor from the unit said, "I mean, I would put it in the none category from a drone defense capability."

@DebErupts@mastodon.social Remember when Trump said he could shoot a person on 5th avenue and get away with it? How is this different?
