The War on Warriors by Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth argues that the military he joined twenty years ago, which prioritized lethality, competency, and color blindness, has now succumbed to cultural chaos and weakness. He believes that the erosion of meritocracy within the military reflects broader societal dysfunction and poses a significant threat to national security. Hegseth’s book, “The War on Warriors,” explores his experiences, critiques the current state of military leadership, and emphasizes the urgent need to reclaim the Pentagon to ensure future victories and safeguard freedoms.
