Re: The Avalon "rant" bashing Pete Hegseth, our new Sec Def. You may want to read his books before "trashing" him. American Crusade, The War on Warriors, Battle for the American Mind. The Arena. You do read don't' you? We are a military family and are so looking forward to a leader that was downrange. You are so typical of the liberal left. You speak but say nothing.
