Pete Hegseth has made it through his confirmation hearing and now appears to be on a glide path for confirmation as secretary of defense. The hearing, which lasted four hours, subjected Hegseth to questioning before the Senate’s Armed Services Committee in an attempt to gauge the Trump nominee’s worldview and qualifications to run a nuclear-armed entity with a nearly one-trillion-dollar budget.

As a veteran, I have long been painfully aware of how the woke agenda has undermined our nation’s military strength . But it wasn’t until I read Pete Hegseth’s book, The War on Warriors, that I realized just how far the rot has penetrated.
