Hegseth strutted and paced and lectured and hectored, warning the officers that he was tired of seeing fat people in the halls of the Pentagon and promising to take the men who have medical or religious exemptions from shaving-read: mostly Black men-and kick them out of the military. He assured them that the "woke" Department of Defense was now a robust and manly Department of War, and that they would no longer have to worry about people "smearing" them as "toxic" leaders.

That's America's secretary of defense. To use a military term, it's conduct unbecoming. He looks rattled. He obviously looks thin-skinned. He's extremely aggressive and volatile.
