"Real military commanders aren’t going 'woohoo, look how many people we killed today' - yet that was the tone of Hegseth yesterday." "It was, frankly, repellent." Jon Sopel and @lewisgoodall react to Pete Hegseth "revelling" in the deaths of Iranian sailors.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall In any other timeline Hegseth wouldn't be trusted with a firework.

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @LewisGoodall When you read about the circumstance and factor in leaving the sailors to drown; you have to ask, are we really joining the good guys?

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall It's not just Hegseth. It's Trumpski and all of them. These are disgusting people.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Well said, Hegseth's words and actions are utterly repellent.

@theonlypeterkay @jonsopel @LewisGoodall I'm old enough to remember Prince Harry writing about killing some members of the Taliban while he was in Afghanistan. It wasn't written in a triumphant way. Still, the MSM here were outage because they said that he could put other servicemen at further risk around the world.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall The solemn funeral of the German Flying Ace, the Red Barron. Given full military honours funeral by his enemy, the Allied forces!

@stuzi_pants @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Like a child playing GI JOE

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall What the fuck would they know about real military commanders? Has either of them ever spent a single day in uniform?

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Thank you. Trump, Hegseth and others are a complete disgrace to the human race. How have we come to this in the so-called civilised West.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall He's peverse. A narcissist drunk on power. Horrible man.

The US no longer care what you turds think. We do not need you and your Marxist diatribe. There was a country chanting death to America while aggressively developing a nuclear weapon and long range missiles. It is not brutish to destroy all military resources. You benefit for the elimination of the Iranian Navy that claimed they would shut down the Straits of Hormuz. We don’t need you. We will solve these problems with out you.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Inaccurate as well… ask any Argentinian if that's the first warship sunk by a sub since WW2.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall They're all repugnant -everyone of them.

@tshep42 @jonsopel @LewisGoodall These people that are being targeted are IRGC terrorists that murdered and raped tens of thousands of innocent women and children in January. We do not need your suicidal empathy as Iranians. Would you similarly mourn ISIS or Al-Qaeda?

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall "Israel bombs, USA pays, how many kids did you kill today?"

@Frances_Coppola @jonsopel @LewisGoodall To be fair, when they rebranded to ‘Department of War’, that should have been an indicator that something wasn’t right.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Hegseth. Drunken man-child.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Liberal pearl clutching War is hell. Get over it

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall You Beta males owe your freedom to men with balls like Hegseth, you snivelling, privileged, stuck-up, nasty, Trump hating maggots. That was just an objective observation, I'll give you my opinion later.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall We can draw parallels to WWII: the Allies who respected enemy combatants & treated them honourably & the vile Nazis & Fascists who revelled in death & horror & regarded the enemy as subhuman & executed them. @PeteHegseth Fascist TV wanker knows nothing of war sounds like a child

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Repellent is very polite

@vg123e @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Yet importantly, he ignores the fallen on his own side. So having followed the Nazi playbook for going to war, he rejects the centrepoint of Nazi war philosophy – which was the "Heldentod" glorification of heroic fallen heroes. Why? Coz he and Trump don't want to share the glory!

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Hegseth ordered a 20 percent reduction in four star generals and admirals. About 100 positions eliminated. They replaced them with yes men selected for political loyalty. They fired the intelligence chief whose assessment they did not like.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall He's not addressing you, he is speaking directly to the US service man and woman in theatre, it's exactly what you want from a leader if you are US military, it's their martial culture.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall The wet and woke who just don’t understand. They moan behind the shield of freedom and a so called democracy.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall He acts like he is playing a video game. He is killing real hunan beings, with real lives and families. He is devoid of human compassion.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Thank you John Sopel for your military expertise

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Oh ffs. Did we shed tears for German sailors during WWII?. What the fuck is wrong with you sanctimonious pricks.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Oh look more pussy ass liberals and foreigners. Y’all are so fucking pathetic

@lewis_goodall @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Hegseth is a ghoul. A repugnant specimen.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Based.

@jonsopel @LewisGoodall Probably pissed!

@cymbal_martin @jonsopel @LewisGoodall @SecWar

@NSNO39 @jonsopel @LewisGoodall Awful
