Pentagon Press Fights Back Against Kegbreath

The Pentagon Press Association is fighting back against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s latest attempt to cover up his bumbling incompetence from the American people.

Hegseth is obsessed with rooting out, firing, and prosecuting people at the Department of Defense who talk to the press. The Secretary of Defense for an administration that claims to be “the most transparent in history” is doing everything he possibly can to prevent anyone from telling the truth about what is going on behind the scenes.

This was vividly illustrated with his hair-brained, corrupt scheme to invite Elon Musk to a top secret briefing on our war plans if China were to launch an invasion of Taiwan or one of our allies in Asia. There was no reason for Musk to get such a briefing, especially since the Chinese Communist Party is Elon Musk’s largest and most important business partner and he has a very friendly relationship with President Xi.

Hegseth’s closest aides who had worked with him for years were so outraged about Musk attending the briefing that they told the press. They deny that, but Hegseth is certain it was them. He also claimed they were given polygraph tests, which the aides also deny. Someone is lying here, and Hegseth has established over decades that he is a serial liar. Musk’s attendance at the briefing was quickly canceled, Trump claimed Hegseth and Musk cooked it up without his knowledge, and the aides were fired.
