[gives reason to hope - not everyone is going to lie down and take it.]

"About two dozen adults who live at the military base chanted “DEI” and booed at Hegseth as he arrived to the US European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, NBC News reported.

Separately, a group of students attending the Patch middle school, also in Stuttgart, held a walkout, according to a letter from the school obtained by the Washington Post."

"Protests led by military families are generally uncommon. A spokesperson at the Department of Defense did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment about the protests."

This guy is so out of his depth, I wonder what's kicking around in that empty head of his as he strolls through military installations hearing boos from the families there.
