Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tells West Point graduates they’re “ready” for war - MS NOW
Overview
In his first official visit to West Point, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told graduating cadets they are prepared for combat, saying “we are sending you, perhaps, to war, and you are ready.” He did not explicitly name the conflict but spoke amid ongoing U.S. operations related to Iran. The comments reinforce Hegseth’s upbeat public messaging about the campaign even as other reporting and military leaders raise concerns about human and fiscal costs and the longer-term risks of escalation.
