Hegseth on Sending Boots on the Ground: ‘I Would Never Tell’ Anybody What Our Options Are

‘We’ll make sure their nuclear ambitions are never reached’

EXCERPT:

HEGSETH: "I would never tell you or anybody else what our options are. See, that's another thing, people keep asking — "
GARRETT: "It's a legitimate question."
HEGSETH: "Very fair question. People ask, boots on the ground, no boots on the ground, four weeks, two weeks, six weeks, go in, go in. President Trump knows, I know, you don’t tell the enemy, you don’t tell the press, you don’t tell anybody what your limits would be on an operation. We’re willing to go as far as we need to in order to be successful."
