Pete Hegseth Plagiat: Pete Hegseth ends up in a further controversy: US defense minister again after the examination for Signal -Tor scandal

The US defense minister Pete Hegseth ended up in a further controversy. After the signal goal scandal and a series of his wife, who took part in high sensitive military meetings, Hegseth was accused of the Princeton University of Alma Mater from Student paper, according to the plagiarism.The Daily Princetonian has claimed that Pete Hegseth's senior thesis of 2003 contains eight cases of “not damaged material, shine paraphrasier and literally copying”.

Pete Hegseth accuses the plagiarism

Hegseth's thesis entitled “Modern Presidential Rhetorics and the context of the Cold War” was checked by three plagiarism experts. They were not made aware of the author's identity before rating the work.
In an example, Hegseth wrote about President George W. Bush's reaction to the reaction of the first attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th.

“After the whisper from Card, Bush looked distracted and bleak, but continued to listen to the second graders and joked that they” read like sixth graders, “wrote Minister of Defense.

In an article in Washington, which was published shortly after the attacks in 2001, it read: “After the whisper from Card, Bush looked distracted and darkly, but continued to listen to the reading of the second graders and soon smiled again. He joked that they have read so well that they have to be sixth graders.” The Post article is not cited in Hegseth's paper.Read too: Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starrer 'cocaine scandal' conquered the internet in the storm. What is the truth? Plagiatric recognition models identified 12 passages in the thesis, of which experts were consulted by the newspaper, which were only considered to be particularly important. The remaining four, although they are not individually alarming, were contributed as “a wider pattern in any form of plagiarism”.

Although all three experts agreed that the passages violated the academic rules of integrity from Princeton, they differed in their severity – some regarded the violations as serious, while others considered them too small to justify a major problem.

James M. Lang, author of fraud hours: learning out of academic dishonesty, characterized the case as a “border” and explained the Princetonian: “There is no silver ball here; there is no smoking weapon regarding a deep example of plagiarism.”

Instead, he noted that the situation was more “gray than black and white”, with about half of the plagiarism examples serious and the other half were relatively low.

An example in which experts deviate is a passage of the Minister of Defense in relation to former President John F. Kennedy's Berlin Wall speech.

“The Berlin Wall speech is a rare event in the rhetoric of the president. Kennedy, who had just gave a speech about the need for peace, was carried away in the emotions of the moment and only the opposite and said that there was no way to work with the communists,” wrote Hegseth.

The passage is closely reflected in Richard Reeves' book President Kennedy: Profile of Power, it says: “In his enthusiasm was Kennedy, who had just kept a peace speech and tried to develop a test contract with the Soviets, and only Ad-Libedes said that it was no way of working with communists.” “With communists.” With communists. “

Although Reeves is cited in Hegseth's paper – even with regard to this specific sentence – no quotation stamps are used. While Lang sees the problem as serious, Jonathan Bailey from the Plagiat told the Princetonian today that the violation was not particularly serious.

“Even those who were more direct usually only contain one or two prison terms in succession,” said Bailey. Guy Curtis, a researcher of academic integrity at the University of Western Australia, found that the thesis violates the rules of the university in relation to copying untouched copying.

“As soon as you accidentally have 10 to 15 words in a row that match something else – it is probably not accidental,” said Curtis.

Nevertheless, there are no formal regulations for plagiarism that were discovered after the conclusion. Bailey suggested that these cases are probably due to negligence than to the intention. “This does not fit the pattern of someone who intentionally tried to malicious,” he said. “It seems more of a case of poor writing practices and weak methodology.”

Pentagon answers

After the Daily Princetonian published his piece, the chief spokesman for Pentagon, Sean Parnell, published an explanation of military.com that shows his support for Hegseth.

“Secretary Hegseth wrote five books. He wrote hundreds of papers and surgery EDs. During the confirmation process, every word by left law firms was checked that worked in connection with every media outlet in the country,” said Parnell.

Hegseth was recently checked by two signal groups chat incidents and important Pentagon runs. The first was a chat, which was set up by the national security advisor Mike Waltz, in which Hegseth Houthi attack plans shared. The second chat, in which his family members and lawyers were involved, discussed similar matters, although Hegseth claimed that it was “informal” and “not classified”.

“They did not find a plagiarism because there was no plagiarism. This is a fake story that distracted from the historical achievements of DOD under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth's leadership.”
