Briefly

The article critiques Pete Hegseth's call to remove the name of Harvey Milk from a naval ship.

The piece argues that Hegseth's actions reflect a deeper insecurity about his identity in a changing America, suggesting that true warriors respect and honor diversity rather than attempt to suppress it.
