The sky is blue, the sun is beaming, and the mainstream media is up to its usual antics, trying to catch our Secretary of Defense in another pointless gotcha moment. But, they got more than they bargained for. Pete Hegseth wasn’t about to let a ridiculous question faze him. No, he delivered his response with a good hearted laugh, and made it clear that he doesn’t play by their rules.
Some liberal reporter got all huffy over Hegseth saying “our boys” when referencing our daring B-2 pilots who just knocked out the nuclear ambitions of the world’s top terror state. Yes, the same pilots, male and female, performing bravely in those bombers. Hegseth rightly pointed out the absurdity of such nitpicking by the press. The obsession with trying to pigeonhole him on gender, when real issues like national security are at stake, is mind-boggling.
🚨 LMAO! Pete Hegseth almost falls over LAUGHING at a reporter who took issue with him saying "our boys" in reference to the B-2 pilots (instead of being 'inclusive')

Let’s not forget, there’s a historical precedent. Women have been flying combat missions since the days of World War II. Perhaps these legacy media figures forgot to open a history book before trying to score some cheap, woke points. These dedicated pilots, male and female, deserve nothing but praise for their outstanding service, but it seems the liberal media can’t help but sidestep the bigger picture.
The focus should be on the incredible success of the mission, safeguarding our great nation, not indulging this tiresome identity politics. As Hegseth demonstrated, the American military has no time for these trivial games, and Americans absolutely should not put up with it either.
Under the fearless leadership of President Trump and Pete Hegseth, the military is being revitalized. The warrior ethos is making a comeback! America is becoming strong again, and our allies and adversaries will feel it. What would happen if the media cared more about real results than ratings and virtue signaling?
