When I got into this business, I wanted to get into journalism because I wanted to be a journalist. It was a job to tell stories, to tell stories that interested me since I was an opinion writer, an opinion journalist.

Retired Army Special Forces officer Mike Nelson criticized Hegseth's rhetoric, stating, 'That's a necessary end to achieve goals through military force - you have to kill people to achieve them. That's not the end. It's a weird obsession with death for the sake of it.'

"When we started to look for resources for our family, they weren't there, they were extremely hard to find or too expensive," Morris said.

Hegseth's actions reflect a broader agenda to reshape the military's leadership, prioritizing loyalty to his political beliefs over military experience and competence.

Hegseth stated that current policies have essentially turned US military installations into gun-free zones, leaving those who live and work on the installations vulnerable. He emphasized that the war department's uniformed service members are trained at the highest standards and are entitled to exercise their God-given right to keep and bear arms.

We are honoured to be entrusted with these VCs and GCs from the Lord Ashcroft Medal Collection. These medals, and the individual acts of extraordinary bravery and valour they represent, form a powerful part of the Army's story.

Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation, Hegseth said in the prayer service. Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.

In a February 19 memo sent to civilians across the DoD, secretary of defense Pete Hegseth wrote that he expects "every supervisor to encourage their civilian employees to volunteer. Leadership must continue to promote this detail program and educate their civilian employees on its importance."

Major Davius dedicated his life to serving others - as a member of the U.S. Army National Guard, an NYPD officer, and previously as an FDNY paramedic. His commitment to protecting and helping others, both here at home and while serving our nation overseas, is a true testament to his character and courage.

Michael H. Ollis: Killed by a suicide bomber. The NYC native was under direct enemy attack involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs), suicide vests and indirect fire at the base when he ordered his fellow soldiers to move from a building to bunkers for protection. When his team was safe, he reentered the building and checked for casualties before moving toward the enemy force that was penetrating the base.

"These five soldiers, in their separate moments of supreme testing, summoned a degree of courage that stirs wonder and respect and an overpowering pride in all of us," he continued. "Through their spectacular courage, they set themselves apart in a very select company. They represent the contribution of more than half a million young Americans to a world of order and of peace."

Though the 83-year-old (who will turn 84 in two weeks) is rarely spotted in the Capitol these days, his vocal opposition to President Donald Trump on a myriad of issues is louder and more present than ever when deemed useful for the motivated liberal press. For instance, McConnell was quoted far and wide last month after he criticized Trump's desire to acquire Greenland, a move the Kentuckian suggested would "incinerate" the threadbare alliance that remains between the United States and NATO.
