.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: "Under the previous administration—whether it was October 7th, the war in Ukraine, or the withdrawal in Afghanistan—the world looked at America and WONDERED whether or not we were capable of executing the way we did in the past...

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth "This is our first stop on what we are calling the SEND ME TOUR. If you know your Book of Isaiah, Chapter 6, Verse 8, the Lord said, 'Whom shall I send?' Isaiah says, 'Lord, I AM HERE. SEND ME...' For 250 years of this country, there have been men and women who RAISED THEIR RIGHT HAND and said, 'SEND ME.' SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE REDCOATS. SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE COMMUNISTS. SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS. AND YOU ARE SAYING, SEND ME TO GO FIGHT WHATEVER THREATS THREATEN OUR NATION.'"

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “Today, at my direction, I am establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. Starting today, and for Secretaries of War after me, the Office of Religious Affairs will report straight to the top. No staff filters. No bureaucratic dilution. A direct line to the Secretary. This won’t be a policy shop pushing paper. It will have real teeth. It will protect budgets, demand infrastructure, and strengthen religious support. The experts – our chaplains – will finally have an advocate at the highest levels. Policy and resources will serve the mission, not smother it.”

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “To meet this critical need, we are partnering with a new crop of premier higher-ed institutions, including Louisiana State University (LSU), Liberty University, Tuskegee University, Mississippi State University, and Hillsdale College. These schools have stepped forward to answer the call to duty and establish new “Corps of Cadets” in partnership with the War Department. So, today—at my direction—we formally establish a program to assist these universities and colleges. It’s called America’s Corps of Cadets. This flagship effort is central to our goal of increasing the number of patriotic leaders of character commissioning into the Joint Force.”

.@SECWAR "President Trump is willing to ensure that we take on a generational threat in Iran and their nuclear ambitions... Iran has a choice to make REAL QUICK: whether they're going to give those up at the table or face the kind of devastation that America can bring."

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “In the Indian Ocean—an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship, that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo—Quiet Death. The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War 2. Like in that war—back when we were still the War Department—we are fighting to win."

.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth “Today—at my direction—we are launching FORTRESS America—a national insurance policy for the American homeland. FORTRESS stands for: Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability. And here is what FORTRESS calls for: Every major military installation in America is going to generate its own power. Independent of the civilian grid. If an adversary takes down the grid—by cyberattack, by sabotage, by any means—our bases stay lit. Our aircraft keep flying. Our command centers never go dark. We are bringing our critical supply chains home. The rare earths, the specialty metals, the semiconductors, the propellants—mined in America, refined in America, built in America, by American workers.”
