ARLINGTON, VAâDescribing the incident as a split-second operational judgment made under rapidly evolving conditions, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invoked the âfog of warâ Thursday to explain why he urinated inside a Pentagon break room refrigerator. âIn the heat of the moment, youâve got to make a decision, and sometimes that decision is imperfect,â said Hegseth, arguing that under the intense pressure of warfare it can be nearly impossible to distinguish between a porcelain urinal and a white refrigerator. âCivilians can never understand what itâs like to be in the thick of it. On the ground, you donât have time to dilly-dally. You just unzip and go.
When youâre back home, itâs easy to have all these high-minded ideals about the ârulesâ of combat, but the truth is, when you find yourself totally blasted and face-to-face with a brightly lit shelf of individually wrapped string cheeses, you donât have the luxury of calculating whether thereâs time to run to the bathroom or even open a window. Throw around terms like âwar criminalâ or âcoworkerâs insulin-ruinerâ all you want, but I acted with significant restraint by urinating in the vegetable crisper when, by all accounts, I would have been totally justified in fully dousing every inch of the fridge in my piss.â Asked for comment, President Donald Trump defended Hegsethâs actions and appeared to imply that the Pentagon custodian who filed the initial complaint should be investigated for treason.
