In this letter to the editor a person identifying as a former 25-year soldier started by naming four gents who had once occupied the chair of the Secretary of Defense! I recognized only one as a military veteran. Halfway into the letter he declared that he did not know Pete Hegseth but that he did not strike him as a soldier! If he hasn't yet, he just might be quite surprised if and when he looks up Pete's bio. I believe Pete is a Lt. Col. in the reserve now. Two Bronze Stars, CIB. He then proceeded to pile on with highly derisive insults towards someone he has declared he doesn't even know. Unbecoming of a Colonel, very much so. I don/t know the writer, but I read he was a soldier. His words. I too was a soldier.
