Combative Hegseth Lashes Out Amid Impeachment Efforts | Command Post

Pete Hegseth is facing impeachment, and his response is to blame the media, attack Congress, and hide behind American troops. Ben Parker and Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) dissect Hegseth’s combative Pentagon press conference, his defense of controversial military operations, and his refusal to take responsibility for civilian casualties and questionable orders. They also examine how Hegseth has turned the job of Secretary of Defense into a partisan political operation, why he has failed to grow into the role, and what an impeachment fight could mean for the Pentagon.
