Here is a man whose whole reason is funneled into killing people and blowing things up. His poses as a warrior, but a true warrior is constrained by ethics and a moral code.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense is constrained under U.S. law and military codes of conduct. These state to whom the power to enter a war resides, how wars are funded and who decides and how long that funding shall be provided. These are all vested in the Legislature (Congress) and are detailed in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution.
Every citizen should have a pocket Constitution to refer to for the proper functioning of our Republic. You can obtain free copies at libraries and voting centers and through nonprofits and U.S. agencies. We should all send a copy to Pete with the section highlighted.
But this is not what makes Pete immoral. He answers only to the President, not to the Constitution, i.e., congressional powers and oversight. Why these laws are in place is no more obvious than when the Executive (the President and his appointed Cabinet and staff) is unhinged. Donald Trump is also ignorant of Constitutional laws and regularly ignores them. He has been aided by a Supreme Court bent toward a powerful Executive Branch in a conspiracy of powers to override Congress.
Pete is one among many in the present fascist cabal that has taken over the American government and holds law abiding members and citizens hostage through sheer audacity and subterfuge. As a whole, this cabal is ignorant of our governance and history, and they operate with delusions of grandeur such as Pete’s posturing as a vicious, all-powerful warrior. His only guidelines are killing and blowing things up. He reminds me of little boys playing war on their bedrooms rugs, gunning down soldiers and throwing bombs to destroy combatants, vehicles and infrastructure. It is madness but it is happening at the highest levels of government in America!
The consequences have spread all over the world, destabilizing countries, fraying or breaking long-standing relationships among democracies. We are now risking the development of a third world war. The deadheads in the White House and the Pentagon envision a “golden age.” Their actions and illusions will create havoc, death, hatred, and loss of civilized order that so many have given their lives to protect over the ages.
Pete is a verified case. Donald Trump is an unhinged man. The Cabal is enabled by Republicans like Lindsey Graham who speaks out of both sides of his mouth as the wind blows. He is a traitor to the United States along with all who aide and abet these aberrant imposters who now control our government and unless we act decisively, our lives.
And have we now forgotten the Epstein files, the Ukrainian war to preserve a nation’s democracy? Lest we do, I am sharing a poem from Ukrainian Victor Kravchuk from his Substack.

This is the image of a true warrior for Freedom, Liberty, and decency.
