First Sergeant Eric Geressy and Staff Sergeant Cliff Meros, two Army veterans who served under Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, joined Will Cain to praise Hegseth's leadership style of leading from the front and placing his men ahead of himself.

They, along with hundreds of others who have served alongside Hegseth, have signed a petition backing him as he continues moving forward in the nomination process.

These are the people who should be listened to. Not the anonymous smearers.

I believe he’s a guy that dealt with some crap, has a good heart, overcame his demons and is on the right track. Exactly the type of person we need, exactly the type of person the left despises.

They despise people who overcome their demons, instead of selling their souls to them.

If an NCO has good things to say about an officer, you should probably listen!

As an E-5, I had to tamp down a few of the things my squad members were saying about a certain officer. It took him 8 years to get through college and he was a danger to himself and his platoon.

That being said, you just can’t talk about “a stray round” taking him out as soon as we dropped into a DZ.

Bad for morale.

Haven’t seen any videos of Milley or Austin crawling through a tunnel in Gaza, but Pete did it a couple of months ago. I think he’s got a much better “ground” view of the Middle East situation than they do. (Of course, neither of those two dolts would’ve fit in a tunnel!)

Those tunnels are often booby trapped, so Pete has got elephant balls for risking that.

Brandon wouldn’t even visit East Palestine, Ohio, to say a few encouraging words and deliver some supplies. Trump did. So much for Brandon’s vaunted empathy, and so much for his courage. Pete’s of the same mold as Trump.
