flag Republican senators who confirmed Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary despite concerns now face backlash after his unprofessional conduct at Quantico, where he dismissed top military leaders, criticized their grooming and fitness, and threatened to force resignations. flag His plans to cut 20% of senior military leadership, eliminate accommodations for women in combat, and enforce rigid fitness standards have raised alarms about politicization and erosion of military professionalism. flag While impeachment is unlikely, bipartisan pushback—including from some Republican senators who enabled his confirmation—could pressure the administration to reconsider.
