Again you miss the point.
It's not about what Tom thinks of Batiste, but what Generals Batiste and Hegseth are saying. Both have different views on the war, but they've put their differences aside to do what's best for the troops fighting in the field. They're saying that if they can come together then both sides in Congress should do the same. Stop playing politics with the lives of our soldiers and give them what they need to win.
