Hegseth Mocks Allied Sacrifice in Afghanistan: Outrage Erupts
During a Senate hearing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth downplayed the contributions of US allies in Afghanistan, citing a common joke among American soldiers. He emphasized the disproportionate American effort and casualty count, despite acknowledging allied losses. Senator Chris Coons countered by highlighting the significant per capita losses suffered by some allies, such as Denmark. Hegseth maintained his position, reiterating the substantial American role in the conflict.
