Pentagon Pete Throws Wild Vanity Tantrum While Casualties Mount

The Pentagon has reportedly banned some photographers from briefings on Donald Trump’s war in Iran after Pete Hegseth’s staff found photographs of the defense secretary “unflattering.”

As the war enters its 12th day and the casualties pile up, the former Fox News host’s vanity has once again taken center stage after members of Hegseth’s team took issue with the way he looked in photographs.
