"Hegseth's distinguishing characteristic on Fox was his fervent support for American service members who had been accused of war crimes, recalled Matt Gertz, senior fellow at Media Matters."
"A recent Guardian editorial offered this scathing description: Glorying repulsively in his capacity to order death and destruction from the Pentagon, Mr. Hegseth... has presented Operation Epic Fury as a 21st-century crusade to break the teeth of the ungodly."
"Hegseth, by contrast, exudes loyalty. Ever since his confirmation early last year, we have been seeing the results, but never more so than in recent weeks."
Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality, has been criticized for his role as defense secretary, particularly regarding America's war with Iran. His support for service members accused of war crimes and loyalty to Trump have raised alarms. Trump's second term saw a shift away from qualified military leaders, leading to concerns about Hegseth's influence. His approach to military actions has been described as glorifying violence, with some editorial critiques labeling his actions as dangerous and reminiscent of a crusade mentality.
