Barbara Starr: Defense Secretary’s Language ‘Glorifying Death and Destruction’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STARR: “Well, I would say. The thing I hear the. Most is. Concern about Pete Hegseth, his language, since this started isn’t just bombastic, it’s it’s glorifying death and destruction and killing. He comes out and makes these statements in a couple of press conferences, in interviews, and talks about how much about the us troops are killing. You know, this is serious business. I don’t know any serious military commander that would speak that way, and especially to troops. Troops know what their job is. They know what the ultimate is that they may be called upon to do. There’s no question about that. But, you know, you have to, as you said, you know, you have to approach this with a sober, clear mind about what you’re doing and what you’re asking young Americans to do. And that means a sober, clear minded strategy and the goals on how you’re going to achieve it. And a secretary of defense that is able to stand up there and clearly explain it to American people, and especially gen to American parents who have children serving in the military.”
