Trump's defense secretary is literally falling down drunk at work right now and we're cutting research funding? Absolute clown behavior, this administration has no idea what priorities are.

yeah but good luck getting this administration to fund anything that doesn't involve golf courses or legal defense funds

Hegseth is living proof we need this funding, yet somehow he's still running the Pentagon lol. Absolute disaster.

Nah, you think some research funding would've stopped him from getting that job? both parties wanted him there, thats the real story.

Fair point, though cutting research funding won't solve the real problem of vetting leaders before they reach that level of responsibility.

yeah nothing screams "thorough vetting process" like putting a guy in charge of the entire military while hes three cocktails deep at a state dinner.

Why'd they let Hegseth get this far if they knew about the drinking problem?

Youre assuming they didnt know, but how many other cabinet picks had similar issues that we never heard about?

Trump should of never appointed that drunk clown in the first place, but atleast he's trying to deal with Iran instead of letting it get worse like the last guy.

Trump's cutting funding for literally everything except weapons deals, so this article is just screaming into the void at this point.

Fair point, though worth noting that Defense Secretary Hegseth's own struggles with alcohol are making this argument harder to sell right now.
