Father Denies Telling Hegseth to Finish the Job
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that families of fallen service members expressed a consistent message of support for continuing the mission in Iran. However, one father, Charles Simmons, whose son was killed in a plane crash, recalled a different conversation focused on his son’s service and his hope that decisions made were necessary. While Simmons was grateful for the warmth shown by both Hegseth and President Trump, he expressed his own questions about the war and a lack of definitive conclusions due to incomplete information.
