Tho demonized – by his antiwar critics as a deranged war monger – Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is a caring, people oriented boss. He’s allowing non-combatant service personnel in the region to work remotely instead of having to traipse into their base office.
Oh wait… Hegseth is not allowing personnel to work remotely. He’s forcing them to because their work places on US bases are being decimated by Iranian missiles making them uninhabitable and too dangerous to occupy. They’re now working remotely from hotels and office buildings in the Gulf States
But risk of attack will follow them relentlessly. Iran is requesting local supporters to report where US military are holed up supporting Trump and Hegseth’s criminal war blowing up the Middle East and possibly the world economy. This will likely make their remote work sites subject to Iranian attack
So don’t expect Hegseth to tout his humane, nurturing treatment of his employees bogged down in his lost war on Iran. He knows that more will be needlessly injured or killed until the Gulf States push his military out of the region to stop Iranian attacks now engulfing them.
That day cannot come soon enough.

Hogshit the Horrible is a drunk, even if now dry, and is repulsive, untrustworthy, flawed, inadequate, impervious to civilised behaviour, a supershitpile of Trumpery sluttery, crawling creepy crappiness, a sub-reptilian operator inhuman and insensitive of all outside his wartiness.
“until the Gulf States push his military out of the region to stop Iranian attacks…”
Would be great, but I can’t see it happening.
They are more dependent than we are on the US; we don’t need the US at all, but we don’t have the spine to kick them out.
Iran sees this as existential, so they will fight until Israel is destroyed as a threat.
That would mean the destruction of Israel itself, because while Iran exists it blocks the plan for Greater Israel.
So this will get a lot worse locally, and is likely to end with a nuclear strike that could start WW3.
