Trump and by extension his cabinet act so like dry drunks it's unreal so it tracks a real alcoholic like Hegseth fits in.
It's the model that fits the rhetoric. I've never seen a propaganda campaign like it. Even the most desperate Ukrainian cope-ium is just minimising losses while maximising gains like you'd expect from any generic wartime power. Trump and his cabinet are the first time I've seen the exact dynamics of the most toxic people I've known play out as official statements.
