Having Hogsbreath speak at West Point commencement is like having Colonel Sanders talk to a chickencoop of chickens.
A really, really dumb Colonel Sanders. 😉

I got as far as him saying he spent 36 hrs. straight studying where to have a missile dropped in Baghdad.......and gave up. I wouldn't have Hegseth in charge of putting an old 'Mousetrap' game together. 😁
