During a CNN segment, Abby Phillip discussed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's contentious press conference where he criticized the media's portrayal of President Trump's military actions. Veteran Paul Rieckhoff described Hegseth's behavior as 'conduct unbecoming' for a defense secretary, emphasizing the importance of separating military duty from political rhetoric. Rieckhoff expressed concern over Hegseth's motives, suggesting that attacking the press detracts from addressing real enemies like Vladimir Putin. He warned that politicizing the military, as evidenced by using them as a shield against media scrutiny, poses a dangerous precedent and undermines constitutional oversight in wartime actions.
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.
They are using the military as a shield. Because the press is asking hard questions of our president doesn't mean anything about the troops.
