    I mean if we're going full cosplay (and apparently we are), shouldn't he be addressing the "secretary of war" as Sir? Show some decorum, soldier.

    I believe the correct (and preferred suffix-neutral) form of address is ‘Mr. Secretary’.

    I know I use the heck out of “Secretary Hegseth” to maintain my apolitical deniability.

    Kelly should make Hegseth do one pull-up as corrective action.

    I realize how ignorant I am of his history and didn't realize he had a military record; pardon. But I feel terrible for him if he was hazed.

    I also feel empathy for him that he was selected at a vulnerable time. He certainly had access to tools and pathways to manage that but it doesn't offset the way that he was picked; it just doesn't sit well with me. I hope to see us all with a different outcome, including him. This path we're on ain't it. There's definitely no short or easy way out
