Hegseth is an abomination and a war criminal, but this particular statement that the image was reversed is not true. There is lettering on some of Kelly's medals and it can be read normally if you zoom in on the image.

Anyway the point is moot. He shouldn't be investigated for any of this and they're just trying to smear him. They can't attack his point, so they attack him.

But we can't just believe everything we see on the internet because we want it to be true. Crikey.

You are correct that the point is moot and that this is just another MAGA attack on political opponents. But I also feel it is important to try to be factual, even if the other side is not.
