John, it’s Tammy Duckworth reaching out with an update on Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War.”
NBC reports that changing the name of the Department of Defense could cost as much as $2 billion.
Unlike Donald Trump, a five-time draft dodger, I’ve actually been to war. I understand the true costs—not just in dollars and cents, but in our troops’ blood and sweat.
I know that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War” vanity project does nothing to help our troops or make our nation more secure. And I won’t stop working to ensure our nation’s leaders are worthy of the sacrifices our troops make.
Publicity stunts from self-serving, insecure men who can't tell the difference between true patriotism and hateful propaganda will never diminish my love for this country—or my willingness to sacrifice for it even when weak men like them won’t.
These titanium legs don't buckle.
Our Servicemembers and Veterans deserve better than this chest-thumping disguised as leadership. Glorifying war and wasting resources doesn’t address any of the problems our military currently faces. All it does is stroke Donald Trump’s ego—which might be all Pete Hegseth knows how to do.
Thank you for using your voice to advocate for Servicemembers and Veterans today.
