He was educated at Princeton and Harvard, a couple of loony left wing Ivies that indoctrinate all their students to hate America and love communism. We’re supposed to hate those schools and not trust anyone who matriculates at them or graduates from them. We probably ought to dissent with his pick as SecDef. Agree?
Should We Trust Pete Hegseth?

.He managed to avoid becoming an indoctrinated fool despite attending two of best indoctrination centers in the country. He served with honor and distinction in the military reaching the rank of Major and was awarded two Bronze Stars. His love of country, our military and our veterans is unquestionable. He's obviously intelligent, hasn't been infected with the woke BS and isn't part off the industrial war complex. Personally I find that refreshing and think this is the kind of guy we need to rid the military of wokeness and corruption. He's smart enough to know what he doesn't know and will listen to those that do.
So it's not true that every student and graduate of loony left wing American-hating, communism-loving schools like Harvard and Princeton should be reviled? When did you change your mind?
You absolutism act has gotten old and stale @Ponca Dan. Question: Are you married? If so, how do you compromise with her? How does that align to your "Perfect or Nothing" mindset?
My absolutism? You've got it all wrong. The consensus on this board has been to never trust anything or anyone that comes out of an Ivy League school. They're indoctrination centers (just listen to SiL in this thread). There's the absolutism to which you refer. But suddenly your absolutism dissolves into thin air when it's an Ivy graduate that somehow miraculously escaped all that indoctrination.
Yes your absolutism. Everything to you is an absolute even in this ridiculous post you made. You either do not possess the ability to determine evidence yourself or you are a troll. Yes Ivy league schools are known leftist indoctrination centers but that doe not mean every student that attends has been indoctrinated. Believe it or not some people are strong minded enough to see through the indoctrination and they determine their own views. Here's a little secret for you Dan, nothing in life is ever 100%.
You need to make a decisive statement disavowing all the times people on this board have made "absolute" statements regarding how Ivy Lague schools are indoctrination centers from which there is no escape.
Ivy league schools along with most every college out there have been infected/infested with radical leftist activist whose sole purpose is not to educate but to indoctrinate. What you don't seem to get, some people are strong minded enough to be immune to the indoctrination.
Even a somewhat conservative university like OSU is not immune to the leftist activist. When my son was there he had to take a class for one his degree that he called "The White Devil Class". The professor was as batshit crazy as any of the videos of batshit crazy professors we've seen. In order to pass the class my son had to adopt a leftist point of view on paper or the professor would have failed him. I was very proud of my son for first recognizing the problem then being able to adapt and still keep his conservative values. He is a perfect example of a strong minded individual immune to the leftist indoctrination.

Your argument is that every aspect of almost every college out there has one purpose only: indoctrinate their students into the glories of communism?
[P-DAN], you are in need of an upgrade to that TRS-80 level of rationale & critical thinking. Are you for real or some AI experiment?
Thank God you son was so mentally strong that he avoided the infection. I suffer at the thought all the other students didn't have his strength. It's astonishing - absolutely astonishing (see what I did there?) - that 100% of OSU's faculty and administration is made up of radical left-wing American-hating pro-communist indoctrinators. Here's hoping MAGA can run every one of them out of the country. That would be the patriotic American way!
There you go again "every aspect". Good grief Dan give it up, I don't speak in absolutes that is your MO. I'm speaking in generalities, two completely different mentalities.
Your rhetoric against Democrats is absolutist. Your rhetoric against Palestinians is absolutist. But I get it. You are so thoroughly indoctrinated with MAGA absolutism you don't even recognize it.
It's hilarious watching Binary Dan troll himself, lol.
Please explain "binary absolutism." I assume you mean it's absolutely one or the other.
Should We Trust Pete Hegseth?
No. We should trust a retired general/admiral who sits on the board of Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, etc. 🙄🙄🙄
If you watched Fox News you would know he renounced is Harvard degree and defaced his diploma on the air because of the reasons you listed. So the point you are trying to make actually gives me the opportunity to bolster his right wing credentials.
