Pete Hegseth faced repeated interruptions from anti-war protesters on Wednesday as demonstrators shouted 'We f*cking hate you! You're a f*cking war criminal!' during a panel on autonomous warfare at the Association of the US Army's 2026 Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, DC.
Footage shows the US Secretary of War seated on stage as protesters shouted during the livestreamed session. The event, held on 14 October, brought senior military officials together to discuss the Pentagon's plans for autonomous weapons and unmanned systems.
