VB Event – Under Hegseth the US Military is Crashing and Burning!

Under Secretary Pete Hegseth, the U.S. military is heading toward absolute catastrophe. We are witnessing an unprecedented collapse in readiness—from horrific, unsafe living conditions and burnout on Navy ships to a dangerous, negligent shortage of critical munitions. Hegseth
isn’t just failing at his job; he is actively endangering the lives of our service members and stripping our defense capabilities down to the bone.

**Sailors living in squalor** –
Moldy showers, food shortages, and crews out of soap and toothpaste

**Readiness talk, readiness rot** –
The real problem —munitions and repair gaps

**The “High-T” sideshow** –
Real readiness isn’t a hormone fad borrowed from online influencers

**Purging the ranks** –
Decades of merit, erased

**Loyalty over competence** –
A chain of command that answers to loyalty, not the Constitution

**A crusade, not a command** –
Turning a pluralistic military into a vehicle for sectarian Christian nationalism
