"Hegseth has said he wants maximum lethality, not tepid legality to be the hallmark of the US military, and he's been making good on that promise."
"Under his watch, a defense department program aimed at reducing civilian harm has been dismantled, and experts who provide guidance on keeping military operations in line with international law have been fired."
"Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation, Hegseth said in the prayer service."
"We're fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon, Hegseth said of Iranian leaders during a CBS interview."
Pete Hegseth, a prominent figure in the Department of War, has expressed a dangerous disregard for military engagement rules. He previously claimed not to wash his hands for ten years, suggesting a belief that germs are not real. Under his leadership, programs aimed at reducing civilian harm have been dismantled, and experts in international law have been dismissed. Hegseth has openly prayed for violence against enemies, framing military actions as a righteous fight against extremism, while ignoring similar fanaticism within the U.S. government.
