President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary Pete Hegseth has railed against women in combat, voiced support for troops accused and in some instances, convicted of war crimes, and advocated for the firing of the military’s most senior officers accused of supporting so-called “woke” policies.

He's also shown support for members of the military accused of war crimes and criticized the military's justice system.

Peter Hegseth, Trump's pick for the Pentagon lead in his administration, was termed as an ‘insider threat’ due to a controversial tattoo on his bicep.
