The criticisms against Sec. of War Pete Hegseth are “entirely political,” and anyone could have said the same things about “the Obama and Biden administration—and much more egregiously.”
Hegseth has turned the U.S. military around in ways no one thought was possible, like getting the military back to meeting all of its recruiting quotas, explains Hanson during today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
Recruitment under the Biden administration fell “some 40 to 50,000 recruits,” and former Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin’s Pentagon used excuses like “people are out of shape, in gangs, using drugs, etc.”
“The real cause was, as Pete Hegseth said when he came in, that people felt that the military was not emphasizing combat, battlefield efficacy… [Now,] There is a record number of Army recruits. The military has met all of its recruiting. That is equivalent to the dramatic revolution on the southern border. Nobody thought we could close the border. We did. Nobody thought we could get recruitment back. Pete Hegseth did,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:”

Thank you!
The US needs to invest in drone warfare, the battlefield has changed. Learn from Ukrainians, they are at the cutting edge in a real war.
Of course it could've been applied to Obama & Obiden. They're MASTER HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump is the greatest president America has ever had!
Hegseth is hot! 😅
Brilliant
Sounds like we've switched places with WWII Germany, build excellent but few units vs solid decent units in high volume. Not a good look.
Dr Hanson, it’s good to hear from you act.
I listened to Obama . Every single thing he said was the cliche of all cliches. An all round evil monster.
I LOVE HEGSETH ~~ HE IS GREAT
Thank you Mr Hanson for laying out the truth and the facts.
One point missed is that there isn’t an active conflict involving us troops.
I like the name change to Department of War.
Real cause was inept leaders in service. Bring on the gays 😂😂😂 and woke jokes.
You can tell when Trump's people are doing a good job, by the amount of flack they get from the Left !
This guy knows his stuff
If people really knew the state that the military was in by Obama's 2nd term through Biden, they would shit their pants. Total combat ineffectiveness with DEI promotions and recruiting at every level. I went from loving my first 8 years to counting down the hours until my EOS date. It anti white male to the bone unless you were gay and if you were a WM christian, you were fucked.
I would love to see what numbers we are talking out here and if the math actually maths
What the United States REQUIRES a huge RECRUITMENT of local, city and state POLICE OFFICERS across OUR NATION?
Golden era, lets go. 🎉
Biden thought finishing the day in the same underwear was impossible too.
good job of course
Respect your work so much Prof. Hope your health is keeping up. Honestly. God bless you. 🌹
75 General got fired by President obama
