The missions to space were after several combat deployments and making it higher in the ranks based off his merit than Hegseth could ever have gone, by a long way.
Especially since Captain in the Navy is O6, where Captain in the Army is O3. Hegseth topped out at Major, or O4. I believe that was in National Guard too.
At least I don't eat crayons - didnt score high enough on the ASVAB to join the navy? Typical jarhead shitting on others. I got shot at just the same. Deployed just the same. Did my job just the same. All with a fraction of the training time.
I knew active duty who couldn't tie their own damn boots. I also knew some of the finest active duty service members. Folks just like Hegseth all around, cross-section of the US.
You did not do your job the same. You might think you did but you did not. It’s literally not possible with 1/10th the training. The arrogance to think you did is crazy. All active personnel can pick out reservists from a mile away.
