[@DisaffectedLiberal]

Pete Hegseth has significant military and defense experience based on his service in the U.S. Army and his work in veterans’ advocacy. Here’s an overview: 1. Military Service: • Army National Guard: Hegseth served as an officer in the Army National Guard and held the rank of captain. • Deployments: • He served in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as part of his duties with the military police. • He deployed to Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division, focusing on counterinsurgency operations during the Iraq War. • Hegseth also served in Afghanistan as part of a counterinsurgency training mission. • Awards: He earned several military awards for his service, including the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge. 2. Veterans Advocacy: • Hegseth was the Executive Director of Vets for Freedom, a political advocacy organization supporting the Iraq War and military strategies in Afghanistan. The group also worked to promote policies that supported U.S. veterans and active-duty personnel. • He later served as the CEO of Concerned Veterans for America, an organization focused on advocating for reforms within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and promoting free-market principles in defense and veteran policy. 3. Media and Policy Influence: • As a prominent commentator on Fox News, Hegseth frequently discusses defense, military policy, and veteran issues, drawing from his firsthand military experience. • His public commentary and advocacy have positioned him as an influential voice in debates on national security, military funding, and veterans’ affairs. Summary: Pete Hegseth has direct military experience, including combat deployments and leadership roles in the Army National Guard, coupled with extensive work advocating for veterans and military-related policies. This sets him apart from individuals whose defense experience is rooted in policymaking rather than active service.
