THE WAR ON WARRIORS

THE WAR ON WARRIORS by Pete Hegseth

Many of you are probably familiar with the name Pete Hegseth. Currently, he is a co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend and hosts many of the Fox Nation documentaries. He is an army veteran who did multiple tours to areas such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Receiving distinguished awards such as two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantry Badge for actions during these tours, Hegseth lived and breathed the army, until recently.

The natural result is instead of living soldiers returning home to family, lives are and will be lost unnecessarily. There is zero question about who bears the responsibility for this in Hegseth's mind. He lays the blame squarely on the shoulders of the military. It is not "how did the military go woke," but "how did the military allow itself to go woke?" According to Hegseth, the military is "green" not black or white. The military exists for one reason and individualism is not that reason.

While clearly acknowledging Jesus as his Lord and Savior, Hegseth begs forgiveness in the end for the "foul language" saying that, " you can take the man out of the Army, but I'm still working on getting the Army out of the man "
