Original Note:
The assertion that Hegseth has never managed more than a platoon is inaccurate. Hegseth has managed up to 200 personnel, which is approximately four to five times larger than a platoon. Platoon: https://www.defense.gov/Multimedia/Experience/Military-Units/Army/#:~:text=A%20platoon%20consists%20of%20a,to%20a%20few%20dozen%20soldiers.
