Major Garrett on where the US is heading in Iran, Sec. Hegseth playing politics at the high levels in the military

from Chad Hartman

Major Garrett makes his weekly appearance on The Chad Hartman Show. They open their discussion with the developing story of the F-15 US fighter jet that was shot down over Iran. Major details some of the specs of the aircraft and how they are used before touching on what we heard from President Trump this week in his national address about the war in Iran. Major critiques the broad assessments that have been communicated from the Oval Office and the Department of War especially about Iran’s military capabilities. Chad and Major then wade into the alleged interference that Secretary Pete Hegseth is running to stop certain members of the military from receiving their rightful promotions. Major says that Sec. Hegseth has a chip on his shoulder from how the military treated him during his service and the favored culture he has created at the Department of War. In their second segment, Chad and Major delve into the firing of now former Attorney General Pam Bondi. Major says there is no satisfying the President of the United States no matter how long someone has been fiercely loyal to him.
