Dozens Who Served With Pete Hegseth Sign a Statement of Support

We know that liberals love their letters. Look at the attention given to the letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials saying the Hunter Biden laptop story had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. The media blacked out the New York Post's story and instead ran with the letter, for which apologies are still due. (President Donald Trump needs to strip the security clearances of these former intelligence officials.)

Just recently, we had 100 former national security officers sign a letter raising concerns about Trump's nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of national intelligence. Gabbard's "past actions call into question her ability to deliver unbiased intelligence briefings," they wrote. Plenty asked if we're doing the "former officials" thing again.

Here's a signed statement that won't be making the network news. Dozens who served directly with Peter Hegseth in the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in other various units, say they "FULLY support Pete Hegseth's nomination to be the next Secretary of Defense."

NEW: Dozens of veterans and military members who directly served with Pete Hegseth are pushing for the nominee to be confirmed as the next Defense Secretary.

In the last hour, nine more veterans/military members who directly served with @PeteHegseth have signed on to the letter pushing for his nomination, @DailyCaller has learned.

Plus, haven't somewhere around 18 people who've worked with Hegseth at Fox News come out on the record supporting him?

This is an interesting contrast to Tim Walz, the recent VP candidate who served 24 years in the National Guard, yet was apparently unable to find any fellow soldiers to vouch for his character. https://t.co/jowLisgUR5

Veterans backing Hegseth shows he's got real credibility. Unlike the weaklings in D.C. who prioritize woke nonsense over national security, Hegseth stands for strength, patriotism, and no BS. He’d actually fight for America, not appease the global elites.

We are the media now. This is the real story and the couple guys I know that know Pete have never spoken anything except bravery, honor and respect

There can be no better endorsement for a leader than this.

The support of my men is the highest honor. They are the best of the best, and why we are doing this. https://t.co/PZyjjzR08y

Absolutely! Pete Hegseth knows what it means to serve and lead. A real patriot who puts our troops first, exactly what we need at the Pentagon. #AmericaFirst

Pete, you and I served in the same unit, I was just there 8 years prior. It would have been an honor to have served with you. You have my full support.

Rakkasan!
