If Pete Hegseth were still in uniform, his extramarital affairs and a
decision to flatly ignore a combat commander’s directive would not just be
drawing the attention of senators — they could have run afoul of military
law.
That is raising questions among current and former defense leaders and veterans
about whether Hegseth would be able to enforce discipline in the ranks if
confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary. Hegseth would
oversee more than 2 million troops who could be disciplined or kicked out of the
service for the same behavior he has acknowledged or been accused of in the
past.
Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army National Guard veteran and former Fox News Channel
weekend host, has acknowledged having multiple extramarital affairs — which
occurred while he was in the military, according to divorce records — and has
said he told his troops to ignore commands about when to fire on potential
enemies. Both violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice and can get troops
court-martialed and dishonorably discharged.
