Even if everything the Trump administration said to justify the war in Iran was true, even if the obvious lies and the excuses that conflict with each other were somehow all true, whether we attacked Iran or not wouldn't affect American freedoms in the slightest.
So, here's the simplest truth: Pete Hegseth just lied about why he sent Americans to die.
It seems like an innocent piece of propaganda. Politicians have been saying the same lie for years. But it is a lie, and it's an obvious lie. If you're okay with this sort of lie, you might have something wrong with you.
