Entirely inappropriate slander against the Secretary of Defense Doc. Suppose someone was to question your habits Doc...on SubStack...would that be a fair equivalent. It is entirely inappropriate to plant the seeds of doubt about the abilities of the man in charge of the defense of America. Knock it off...I'm sure the Chinese love it...we do not. A pattern is emerging here. WHY.

Why would the Chinese love it? The Chinese appear to have a rigorous system of military screening and selection to identify those who are below required standard that begins at recruitment and for some military occupations even includes AI-driven biometric assessment.

It is inconceivable that he would pass selection in China for even the lowest level military position, even just based on the allegations of the woman who claims he raped her in 2017 (whom he paid off and entered into a confidentiality agreement with) and on what his mother, who has taught with the Minnesota Excellence in Public Service Series, a leadership program for Republican and right-leaning women, said about his character in a private email to him in 2018. ("You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego." "You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth." "On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say ... get some help and take an honest look at yourself...")

A report from The New Yorker  claiming that he was pushed out of leadership positions at two veteran-focused nonprofits over intoxication on the job, sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement would almost certainly also disqualify him.

("Former colleagues claimed that Pete was consistently intoxicated at organization events, to the point where he had to be forcibly removed. "I’ve seen him dragged away not a few times but multiple times," one former colleague at CVA told The New Yorker ... The magazine also saw an email that a CVA employee once wrote to Pete's successor, claiming that Pete “treated the organization funds like they were a personal expense account — for partying, drinking, and using CVA events as little more than opportunities to ‘hook up’ with women on the road.”)

He would also almost certainly not get through selection based on the reports from 10 current and former Fox News employees who claimed that he drank in ways that concerned his former colleagues, two of whom claimed that

" ... on more than a dozen occasions during his time as a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend,” which began in 2017, they smelled alcohol on him before he went on air. Those same two people, plus another, said that during his time there he appeared on television after they’d heard him talk about being hungover as he was getting ready or on set. One of the sources said they smelled alcohol on him as recently as last month and heard him complain about being hungover this fall."

Hegseth has personal qualities that appeal to Americans.

Those same personal qualities would see him reviled by the Chinese as the lowest of the low.

Hegseth, if he was Chinese, would almost certainly be considered below required standard for a Chinese low level security clearance or for entry into the Chinese military at the lowest level but that does not mean the Chinese would love it that questions are being asked about his suitability as US Secretary of Defense.

They would hate that.

They would love it that he is US Secretary of Defense.

AwakeNotWoke...thanks (not really) for your rant against Hegseth. You asked "why would the Chinese love it"....Well, the answer is because it puts you squarely on the side of the Chinese propaganda machine, AKA DEMOCRATIC PARTY. (You know, the one's who LOST the election). It appears that you support the unhinged ranting of Dr. Alexander against Hegseth, the fledgling Secretary of Defense. Good for you maybe...bad for the country. I guess you missed my point entirely. When a citizen of America, or landed immigrant of America, or even a foreigner makes a point of openly slandering and libeling the Secretary of Defense of the U.S.A., OPENLY... and accusing him of alcoholism, sexual misconduct, etc. it is an act of aiding and abetting the enemy of the country...and is useful to the Chinese...THEY LOVE TO HEAR THE TWO OF YOU BELITTLING THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE...IT IS GREAT PROPAGANDA, DONE BY YOU AND DR. ALEXANDER...IN FAVOR OF THE ENEMY OF THE COUNTRY. Are you sure you're Awake? And are you sure you're not woke? You don't sound like a patriot. Please, don't waste my time answering, i.e. anonymous person said this, and this PRIVATE EMAIL said that...and this left wing rag said this. Wake up. You work for the W.E.F. Too?
