Pete Hegseth is a Christian paintball cosplayer for whom professionals keep wondering why FOX is the training ground for The Peter Principle grafted on professional soldiers. He is a link to the dark ages imposed on 21st-century combat—a child playing with national security as a game of Battleship.
