This stunt reflects a Secretary who is primarily concerned with his public image and the approval of the President. It undermines the greatest military in the world to suggest that our senior-most officers need President Trump or Secretary Hegseth to tell them what it means to be a warfighter. “Let’s be clear: Taking senior military officers out of the field where they're needed—including many who had to fly across the globe to be in-person—to hear the President and Secretary deliver a politically-tinged made-for-TV address will not make us stronger or more lethal. The Secretary’s job is to keep our service members safe and Americans out of harm’s way – and today’s speech was nothing short of a dereliction of that responsibility.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:10:29Z |
