War Secretary Pete Hegseth is on a mission.
As he tours military installations and visits defense contractors, Hegseth is laser-focused on what it will take to make sweeping changes for America’s military.
He recognizes it won’t be easy, but there’s no other choice if America wants to maintain its dominance in our rapidly changing world. China, Iran, and Russia, along with other adversaries, are external threats. Closer to home, however, a slow-moving bureaucracy, lack of innovation, and a business-as-usual mentality present a different set of challenges.
“When it comes to our current threat environment,” Hegseth declared, “we are playing a dangerous game with potentially fatal consequences. We need innovation to come from anywhere and evolve with speed and purpose.”
Hegseth emphasized this point repeatedly during Monday’s trip to Texas, where he was accompanied by the state’s Republican senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, alongside other members of Congress.
