John, it’s Tammy Duckworth. I’ll be blunt: Pete Hegseth degrades our nation’s military.
I was one of the first handful of Army women flying combat missions in Iraq. I understand what it takes.
The least qualified Secretary of Defense in our nation’s history is questioning the ability of women who are actually qualified to do their jobs.
Hegseth has long sought to push women out of our nation’s military. But frankly, our military could not do its job of protecting our country without the women who serve.
Hegseth has no interest in actually strengthening our military.
He wastes taxpayer dollars on a regular basis, bringing in general and flag officers to be little toy soldiers for his dog and pony show.
He has issued an order to allow hazing back into military basic training.
I ran for office to help the brave men and women I had the honor of serving alongside. Our troops should be at their duty positions, doing their jobs—not wasting time and resources as Pete Hegseth’s audience.
Publicity stunts from self-serving, insecure men will never diminish my love for this country, or my willingness to sacrifice for it even when weak men like Trump and Hegseth won’t.
These titanium legs don't buckle.
Our Servicemembers deserve better than this showmanship disguised as leadership.
Thank you for using your voice to advocate for Servicemembers today.
