Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent Friday morning working out in the snow with US forces in Poland — as new military ads reflect a renewed pride in power and strength.

Hegseth, who arrived in Warsaw Thursday for his first official overseas trip, shared photos of himself jogging and doing pre-dawn pushups with members of the US Army V Corps and Polish forces who work with them there.

After Trump’s election victory in November, the US Army announced it shattered previous recruiting records when the service said it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers per day in December 2024, the most productive December in 15 years.

The surge in recruitment comes after two consecutive years of missing recruitment targets.

Do you think Lloyd Austin as SecDef ever got down with grunts? I highly doubt it.

I’d love old-man Navarro to slip in and beat them both.

That poor guy to Hegseth’s right in the running photo looks like he’s really working to keep up with the boss.

This is how you lead.

Sure, on condition that RFK Jr. drops the testosterone supplements.

Interesting considering his opposition to big pharma.

Agree.
