I think Hegseth is as insane as all adults with imaginary friends who are paranoid about actual demons, but attacking his obvious high-functioning efficacy is just going to backfire.
Have you ever seen a more unbalanced, unhinged, emotionally UNSTABLE person leading the Pentagon, especially during war times? I haven't.
Yelling at the press for using trump's OWN words.
Hegseth is in over his head. Impeach him, before he costs more American lives. pic.twitter.com/dgVOB5vzti— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) April 3, 2026
He's good at what he does. Not perfect, but very, very effective. (Either that or his subordinates are incredibly talented at making him look good.) It's hard to argue with the US military results and not appear to be simply as delusional as Hegseth himself is about going to war for his imaginary skydaddy.
(As for the awful slaughter of 180 schoolchildren: that's 100% the fault of the IRGC for starting it in the first place and giving the US no real choice, just like they're responsible for murdering 35000+ protestors in less than two days.)
There's ample evidence in psychological science that certain psychopathologies are adaptive in specific circumstances. This is why psychopaths are well known to be epidemiologically prevalent in the population of warfighters, CEOs, and firemen (!).
I am not saying Hegseth is a psychopath. I suspect his delusions indicate a different pathology. However, attacking his high-functioning skill and that of his chiefs of staff is an own goal.
Personally I am glad he and the US military are good at killing the IRGC, and I hope they keep killing them until Iranian liberal women and unbelievers are free.
I've never believed the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but if a 'force of nature' wipes out my vicious, deranged, anti-unbeliever enemy: I am pretty sure I am grateful and I hope it keeps happening!
