So are the vast majority of most Mexicans. Mexico is mostly a Native American country that has been a bit acculturated to Spanish culture. Their genes are mostly native, their food is mostly native, their name is native, and they even have a native Virgin Mary called the Virgin of Guadalupe that wears Mexican-style clothes. South Park did a bit on this where the women of South Park were getting "wise" advice from Native Americans, so it was highly regarded and sought out. Towards the end of the episode, the women of South Park found out that the advice was coming fro two Mexicans, so they got upset and disregarded it as crap.

Fun fact: What is now the Southwestern US used to be part of Mexico which is why a lot of places there have Spanish names. It became US territory at the end of the Mexican-American War via the Treaty of Guadalupe.

Fun fact 2: BBQ is Native American. The word comes from the Taino word barabicu.

Fun fact: The US ha a Hellfire missile that doesn't even explode. It's meant to hit one person and kill them while limiting casualties in the proximity.

I didn't know anything about Hegseth, so I looked up his Wikipedia page to get an idea. While I did find extremely troubling concerns regarding his beliefs for a person in his position, I didn't find anything that had to do with incompetence. He seems to be effective at whatever he does. He made Major, was awarded a Bronze Star, volunteered for deployment...all admirable achievements if they are valid (could have been invalidly attained). He might have a drinking problem, but I didn't see any claims where he has jacked something up because of it. It said that he' been drunk or hung over at Fox News, which is not strange for the military population since many like their drink. I've known heavy drinkers that get things done better than sober people, though their personal lives are a disaster. All that is to ask the honest question, why would Hegseth's reputation, especially in the first month of a transition, imply some sort of mismanagement oh his part that lead to a terrible, highly unusual, and avoidable operational mishap?
