Hegseth sounds like an unhinged madman.

Hegseth: "Death and destruction from the sky all day long. We're playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the president and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it ... we are punching them while they are down"

Did he really say that?

And of course, there are plenty others in the take over who warrant a double take.
