Pete Hegseth: "The military has been distracted from its core mission, which is lethality"

"Our military will be great again, and America will never back down. The military has been distracted from its primary mission, which is lethality, lethality, lethality: deterring our enemies and then having the ability to defeat them quickly and return home. That’s it. Anything else it is tasked with is a distraction.

We need a man who has kicked down doors and understands the consequences of war and why deterring it, fighting it, and winning it is important."
