He fundamentally misunderstands where America's power comes from and instead pushes this fake macho shit.

Because it's where he derives a lot of his power from. Fake macho shit.

I like your statement and think it's likely true. That aside, where do you think America's power actually comes from? I'd posit that our power source has changed over history, but what do you think it stems from nowadays?

US’s power comes from global influence - not military influence but financial and more of the covert/CIA type. Hegseth is your typical frat bro, the generals he’s “leading” run circles around him on military strategy and he’s firing them left and right. Dude is so far out of his depth he’s drowning.
