@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social In that same speech, drinking alcoholic Pete Hegseth said parents would be "happy" to send their children to fight and possibly to die. No one outside of a mental ward or private equity firm is happy when people are sent into harm's way. Many accept it, as the price of defending themselves. But they're not happy about it. Not at all. Pete Hegsesth's a narcissistic psychopath.
