Between his attacks on the rules of engagement and him maintaining the Medals of Honor of those involved in the Wounded Knee atrocity, HEgseth really wants to commit war crimes; were I an US servicemember, I'd make plans for either a Valkyrie or simply deserting.
At least, Comstock's craziness in Bioskock: Infinite was born from remorse about his crimes there, Hegseth thinks that this should be something to be proud of.
