Hegseth here calls six members of Congress the "Seditious Six" and raises the possibility of criminal charges through the UCMJ. Hegseth also is a prominent member of this chain of command. Unlawful command influence questions will now presumably be raised in any proceeding.
The video made by the “Seditious Six” was despicable, reckless, and false. Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of “good order and discipline.” Their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion — which only puts our warriors in

you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
Remember when Pete Hegseth let independent media into the Pentagon and they spread a fake story about Iran having weapons of mass destruction to start a war costing American lives? Oh wait that Judith Miller of the New York Times.

It's a week later. Zero evidence has emerged that this claim is true. It was amplified by much of Pete Hegseth’s team.
SOURCE: a few reporters on this wall have privately said they were bullied into participating in the walkout when they actually wanted to stay. They were physically confronted and threatened with retaliation if they didn’t join the protest.
