Movie critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his deepness to lead US military via dirty new Middle East conflict
Brash and bellicose, he seemed extra like an animation bully than a sombre statesman. “Death and destruction from the skies all day long,” Pete Hegseth, putting on a red, white and blue tie and pocket square, boasted to reporters at the Pentagon near Washington. “This was never ever indicated to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair battle. We are punching them while they’re down, which is precisely how it must be.”
Hegseth, 45, a previous Fox News television host who currently regulates the world’s most effective armed force, has this week become the face of Donald Trump’s battle in Iran. That has actually established off for alarm system bells for doubters who caution that the Secretary of Defense– specifically rebranded “Secretary of War“– has quickly changed the Pentagon into the staging ground for an ideological and spiritual crusade.
