The president and the republicans that nominated Hegseth are ultimately to blame.

Seems all 47 dems voted no. Thankfully. We have that much.

Disgraceful! But blame should rest with the President and the Republican Party. Those that approved him out of committee and those that ultimately voted him in.

They should NOT be allowed to run away from this.

In a democracy the DOD and President work for the people and at the pleasure of the people.
