Liar. Hegseth was in the National Guard. Austin went to West Point. Don't try twisting things to make Austin unqualified and make Hegseth somehow more qualified.We know he never carried a rifle in battle, generals do not kick doors in.
Its a token medal for being there.
He did not do anything positive for the Defense Department, his actions all hurt readiness.
On September 1, 2010, at a ceremony at Al-Faw Palace in Baghdad, Austin was promoted to the rank of general, becoming the Army's 200th four-star general officer and the sixth African American in the U.S. Army to achieve the top rank. He subsequently assumed the role of Commanding General (CG) of United States Forces – Iraq (USF-I), becoming the first African American in history to command an entire theater of war.

What theatre of war has Hegseth held command in? What does he know about the strategic movements of a mass number of troops or coordination of military attacks with the navy and air force from his experience in the National Guard?
If Hegseth was black, you'd call him a DEI hire. But he's white, so he's automatically qualified.
