Retired Army Special Forces officer Mike Nelson criticized Hegseth's rhetoric, stating, 'That's a necessary end to achieve goals through military force - you have to kill people to achieve them. That's not the end. It's a weird obsession with death for the sake of it.'

Hegseth authorized a pause on weapons deliveries to Ukraine without notifying the president, confusing Ukrainian leaders after Trump suggested increased military aid, putting America's interests first.

That's America's secretary of defense. To use a military term, it's conduct unbecoming. He looks rattled. He obviously looks thin-skinned. He's extremely aggressive and volatile.

Cain added, 'Spot on. The kind of diagnosis you could only get from a doctor, in this case, a doctorate in the media...'

Details about American strikes in Yemen that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared on a commercial chat app came from U.S. Central Command through a secure, government system.

Hegseth was under fire Monday after a stunning series of reports revealing he had shared details of a sensitive attack against the Houthis in a Signal chat.
