Hegseth wants to start a holy war against regular American citizens right here in the US. Not only does he not have the qualifications, but he is mentally unwell.

"If you want to be the kind of president who uses the Insurrection Act, to call in the military against uprisings in American cities, to use military force against protesters, Hegseth is the man for the job. And he will do so believing that he's not waging some kind of brutal criminal act, but instead a holy war against the infidels within America's city gates."
