Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth marked his first day on the job by hinting that military bases renamed under the Biden administration because they referenced Confederate officers would revert to their original names.
“Every moment that I’m here, I’m thinking about the guys and gals in Guam, in Germany, in Fort Benning and Fort Bragg, on missile defense sites and aircraft carriers,” Hegseth told reporters as he arrived at the Pentagon on Monday morning. “Our job is lethality and readiness and warfighting.”
