Hall wrote in a Mediaite op-ed that buffoonery and chaos are simply part of the job for Hegseth. President Donald Trump isn't troubled by Hegseth's ineptitude; he's energized by the spectacle of it."
"Lawmakers were briefed this week by Navy Adm. Frank Mitch Bradley about a September 2 strike against an alleged drug smuggling boat off the Trinidad coast. According to a Washington Post report, citing people familiar with the situation, Hegseth gave an order to kill everyone on the boat. Later, Bradley ordered a second strike on the boat while there were two remaining survivors."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth faces criticism over a September 2 strike against an alleged drug-smuggling boat off Trinidad, with reports claiming he ordered killing everyone aboard and that a second strike occurred while two survivors remained. Navy Adm. Frank Mitch Bradley briefed lawmakers and denied a kill order, prompting bipartisan questions about the legality of the strikes. A Pentagon Inspector General report found Hegseth's use of the messaging app Signal risked compromise of sensitive Department of Defense information after he accidentally included a journalist in a group chat discussing plans related to Yemen. Critics characterize the conduct as chaotic and spectacle-driven.
