Secretary of War Pete Hegseth spoke to a gathering of military officers, Tuesday in

Quantico, Virginia, ending the "war on warriors" and calling for physical fitness and behavioral standards to return to what they were in the 1990s. "You kill people and break things for a living. You are not politically correct, don’t necessarily belong always in polite society," he said. "You are different. We fight not because we hate what’s in front of us, we fight because we love what’s behind us."
