‘Stop’: Pete Hegseth scolds media over ‘endless’ war, but says boots on the ground a possibility

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth is scolding media outlets, the political left, and others who are fretting that the war in Iran will be “endless,” like other military interventions by the U.S., in places like Iran and Afghanistan, over the years.

“To the media outlets and political left screaming, ‘endless wars,’ stop. This is not Iraq, this is not endless. I was there for both. Our generation knows better and so does this president,” he said at a Pentagon briefing.
