while angering others. Military regulations are vast, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) complex. It will not be lost on the troops that Major Hegseth violated one of the biggest no-no's in the UCMJ, adultery, which is a crime under military law. Sen Miss Lindsay Graham is a former JAGOFF, and should know this, yet he voted for Hegseth, a clear violation of his own oath as Senator and retired Officer. The hypocrisy is blatant.
