Randy Manner Calls Hegseth a ‘Disgraced Major’ Who Has ‘Berated’ Senior Officers Who Are ‘Very Well Educated Combat Veterans’

EXCERPT:

MANNER: "It‘s important that the American people understand that that group of senior officers and senior enlisted leaders are very well educated. All of them are combat veterans. They have, in many cases, had many soldiers in their commands die in combat situations. Those are American heroes there. And they were being berated by a disgraced major, that‘s all that he ever got as far as the secretary of defense, and a president who, quite frankly, dodged the draft. Those young — excuse me, those soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines, all those leaders, they were professional. They sat there and they listened to what had to be said. It‘s not like the time that the president went to Fort Bragg with the 82nd Airborne Division, with these young 18- to 20-year-olds who were whooping and hollering for the president that were handpicked as being Trump supporters. These are the backbone of our nation‘s security, and they are apolitical, and they are going to stay apolitical. And that‘s why the American people have to be reassured that we are there for you."
