JOHN LUCAS: Insubordinate Generals and Senior Officers Publicly Attack the Secretary of War: Anonymous but public criticisms topped by massive hypocrisy. “Trump derangement syndrome and its variant, Hegseth derangement syndrome (HDS), continue to infect an undetermined number of victims in the military.
