I heard we pulled four minesweepers out last year. They would be handy there right now.

Hegseth is a mess. The war is contained but we are deploying more assets - Marine Corp naval escorts and I am guessing mine sweepers..

11$ Billion in two weeks.. I hope that number comes down but we keep poundiing harder and harder on the "contained" situation.  He actualy replied "Don't worry about it"  when  asked when the Strait would be straight again.  Bessent must have smiled when that was asked of The Pete.

I guess approval ratings are like Goof Scores in the Trump admin.., the lower the better.

As of March 2026, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's job approval rating is 37%, with 52% of voters disapproving of his performance. Polling throughout his tenure has consistently shown him with negative net favorability.

Other recent data from the same period reported by The Economist and YouGov shows slightly different figures, with 40% approving and 29% disapproving, though this may reflect a different subset of respondents or question phrasing.
