“Donald Trump and his administration have done a grave disservice to America’s military. By politicizing the military, sending service members into wars of questionable legality, attempting to use military forces against American citizens, and seeking to punish veterans who exercise their constitutional rights, the Trump administration has attempted to turn the U.S. military into its own guns-for-hire battalion. This is not how you honor America’s military. Pete Hegseth has done an even graver disservice to the men and women who serve. Having called for a ‘warrior ethos’ that celebrates aggression, lethality and an unquestioning commitment to warfighting, the self-styled Secretary of War has repeatedly demonstrated a troubling disregard for the constitutional safeguards meant to govern the military’s use of force. Consider his record.” (11/10/26)
