Kegseth is giving new meaning to the term "Mission Creep"

Mission Creep used to mean:

A gradual shift in objectives during the course of a military campaign, often resulting in an unplanned long-term commitment.

Now it just means Kegseth is one.

as his usual pumped-up self, but as in the old skit with Dana Carvey portraying the "Pump You Up' character with Kevin Nealy (Hanz & Franz), let Hegseth be told he's fired and DEFLATE all over.

I would find that quite cathartic...

One: The whole Iran fiasco is a prime example of Mission Creep
Two: Kegseth himself is a prime example of Mission Creep thanks to his failures and Trump's selection of him.
Three: Kegseth is a Creep
