How President Trump reverse Joe Biden’s foreign policy failures, he needs true warrior Pete Hegseth on his side and that’s what the riff is all about. Pete Hegseth will appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee tomorrow as President-elect Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense.

Before anyone says another word about his nomination, they should read Fox News Digital’s report on how spectacular his military ratings are. “Incredibly talented and battle-proven leader” is one description. The highly decorated veteran and former Fox News anchor was described as displaying “exceptional” leadership skills throughout his military service, which includes deployments to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Here’s a longer quote: “After taking charge of his platoon just days before deploying to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, he effectively led his platoon through five months of combat .He planned and executed squadron operations ranging from air strikes to forward operating base defense.”

The assessment goes on to describe how his group remained physically and mentally prepared and captured an al-Qaeda cell leader in Iraq. He then describes his leadership skills in controlling his teams, air support, and other external combat support resources.

According to another report obtained by Fox News Digital, the evaluators described him as “an absolutely outstanding officer” who was “intelligent, mature and extremely gifted” and had become “a great asset to his battalion and had contributed enormously to the battalion’s performance over the past six months.”

These assessments should be of crucial importance in the upcoming Senate committee hearings. It’s an extraordinary report from Fox News Digital and should put an end to some of the false and unproven allegations leveled against him many years ago, allegations that had nothing to do with his military fitness or generalship. leadership skills

Veterans are rallying around Pete Hegseth and his nomination as Secretary of Defense. There was an indoor rally today, led by Senator Tommy Tuberville and Congressman Keith Self. Here’s a clip of Senator Tuberville today:

TOMMY TUBERVILLE: “We don’t need a Pentagon general. We’ve tried. We need a drill sergeant, someone who’s been in two wars, someone who understands camaraderie and team and work ethic and timing and restraint and respect. // We have to restore respect, loyalty and belief in this country every day and it all starts with Pete Hegseth. Pete is someone who believes in this country.”

Tomorrow, hundreds more veterans are expected to peacefully demonstrate in support of Pete Hegseth at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and other landmarks in Washington DC. In addition to serving as a highly decorated combat veteran in multiple theaters of war, Pete Hegseth was educated at Princeton and Harvard and wrote an important book entitled “War on Warriors,” which argued the importance of ending the awakened fixation for diversity equity and inclusion, in favor of revitalizing the warrior culture in the Pentagon and the armed services.

Joe Biden is leaving the White House with the world in an extremely dangerous place. Donald Trump intends to turn that completely upside down of America advantage The Senate needs to put true warrior Pete Hegseth on Mr. Trump’s side to help him do that. This is the riff.
