  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was asked by Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream about the recent firing of top lawyers for the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force
  • a move that has sparked backlash and raised concerns over the potential politicization of the country's armed forces.

The article discusses a segment on Fox News where host Brian Kilmeade confronted Pete Hegseth, a Fox News contributor and former Army officer, about the backlash following the firing of several high-ranking military officials by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. Hegseth, who has been critical of what he perceives as "woke" policies in the military, faced questions regarding the implications of these dismissals. The firings were part of a broader initiative to address extremism within the ranks, but critics, including Hegseth, argue that this could be a pretext for targeting conservative viewpoints. The discussion highlighted the tension between maintaining military discipline and the potential politicization of the armed forces, with Hegseth defending the need for a military free from political bias while acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
