The question was why Hegseth got into that position. The now deleted comment speculated, perhaps in a clumsy fashion, why polarizing, incompetent but loyal figures can be useful for a permanent bureaucracy to achieve its long term goals.
The fact that the figures are polarizing helps, because everyone focuses on the person and not on what is actually happening.
Note that this is speculation, because we do not have full information.
