Training, lethality, accountability, discipline, readiness — the bedrock of what it means to be an American warrior — is the only focus of our department.

It’s not about artificial enhancement,” Hegseth said in his video. “It’s about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity and ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain the fight.

You — you don’t have a strategy, you don’t have a long-term plan to actually win this war. Win the war! The men and women are going to be able to do it, but they need leadership. When will you show leadership?

Training right now and training in the future that would have to be curtailed if we do not get our budget needs met, and met urgently.
