The head of the Pentagon sweated and swore rudely, remembering the late Senator Lindsey Graham*

The head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, sweated and swore rudely at an event on the occasion of the renaming of the Charleston base in South Carolina in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham❶.

"I'm Norwegian from Minnesota, so I'm sweating like a son of a bitch. This is South Carolina in August," Hegseth complained from the podium, quoted by RIA Novosti.

At the same time, the minister violated the dress code, speaking without a tie and with two unbuttoned buttons on his shirt.

Hegseth also paid tribute to the deceased, and also again called for an increase in the defense budget, which Graham supported❶. The minister noted that the late senator described the request of the Donald Trump administration at the Pentagon in the amount of $ 1.5 trillion as "the best military budget I have seen during my time in Congress," writes NYT.

The newspaper recalled that Lindsey Graham❶ died suddenly on the evening of July 11 from aortic dissection. He served 33 years in the Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve and retired with the rank of colonel in 2015.
