'Macho nonsense': Military expert calls out Pete Hegseth focus on 'warfighting'
https://www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth-pentagon-2672208029/A military expert dismissed defense secretary Pete Hegseth's focus on "warfighting" as "macho nonsense."
President Donald Trump tapped the combat veteran and former Fox News host as the U.S. military's civilian leader, but author Thomas Ricks published a column for Politico explaining that Hegseth doesn't seem to understand how to effectively conduct a war.
The three most important aspects to winning a war are producing the equipment needed to fight, getting those items to where they're needed and then training people to use that stuff, he said.
