Opinion | Pete Hegseth Blunders Into His Forever War
Briefly

The U.S. military is focused on preventing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, leading to an escalation anticipated to cost over $2 billion. The deployment includes aircraft carrier strike groups and advanced bombers, resulting in significant financial expenditures for airstrikes and other military actions. This situation complicates the potential of withdrawing U.S. troops and raises the risk of broader conflicts, particularly with Iran.
