Pete Hegseth is being mercilessly mocked behind his back in the
Pentagon, according to insiders.

Staffers have reportedly furnished the self-proclaimed rCLsecretary of
warrCY with a brutal new moniker that leans on his insatiable appetite for war: rCLDumb McNamara.rCY

Current and former U.S. officials have told Zeteo that the former Fox
and Friends host is being painted as a dumb version of Robert McNamara,
the defense secretary who became a symbol of AmericarCOs failures in the Vietnam War.

The businessman turned statesman is often credited with bringing the
U.S. into the war, a conflict that killed between 1.4 million and 3.5
million people. He pushed so hard for more U.S. involvement in the
conflict that it was eventually dubbed rCLMcNamararCOs War.rCY

Hegseth, for his part, has acted as one of the main cheerleaders of
President Donald TrumprCOs war in Iran. The president has even credited,
or blamed, him for promoting it so ardently. rCLPete, I think you were the first one to speak up. You said, rCyLetrCOs do it,rCOrCY Trump said during an engagement in Tennessee earlier this week.

McNamara, who was defense secretary under both John F. Kennedy and
Lyndon B. Johnson from 1961 to 1968, repeatedly gave glowing assessments
about the U.S. militaryrCOs performance in Vietnam, despite knowing full
well, as declassified papers later revealed, that the conflict had
turned into a disaster.
