Not surprisingly, Hegseth has brought to the Pentagon the same disorder and disarray that has characterized his entire messed-up and messy life. Part of this mayhem is ideological: As I’ve noted in a previous column, Trump is turning the military into a MAGA institution, using troops to quell domestic protests and giving political speeches where soldiers serve as stage props. Hegseth has been very much part of this dangerous politicization of the military, working to purge the military of trans soldiers as well as removing as any positive tributes to civil rights pioneers such as Jackie Robinson and Harvey Milk. Hegseth backed down from deleting Robinson from a Defense Department website after protests, but his general crusade to create a right-wing military continues.
