Fox News host Pete Hegseth was awarded Bronze Star for leading a platoon in Iraq. He received a commendation for managing his battalion in Guantanamo Bay. He served in the National Guard during the riots of 2020. He has a master’s from Harvard. He’s testified before Congress. He’s seen our armed forces from every side, and he knows where we’ve gone wrong. America is undergoing a quiet revolution as our institutions move away from meritocracy, teamwork, patriotism, meaning, tradition, and common sense. This is now happening the fastest within the group where it can hurt us all the most: the military. We are no longer a military power to be feared. We miss every recruiting goal. The gap between the grunts and the brass has never been bigger. Hegseth exposes the some of the greatest threats to our national security —not aggressors from without, but an agenda from within.
