Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was back on Capitol Hill Thursday to take questions from the Senate Armed Services Committee about the Iran war in what proved to be another combative and ill-tempered hearing.
Hegseth suffered a similar ordeal a day earlier in front of the House Armed Services Committee, losing his cool when it was suggested that Operation Epic Fury had already entrapped the U.S. in the sort of “quagmire” previously experienced in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam.
