A retired army general took Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to task for what he says is an unhelpful focus on “biceps” over “brains” in the military.
In a Sunday interview on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,Stanley Allen McChrystal—a former four-star general who served under former President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama—called Hegseth and other White House officials of his ilk a “symptom” of a larger loss of character in America.
“We’ve always had a problem with certain evil in society and corruption, but I think the fact that we see everything so much now that we normalize it,” McChrystal told Brennan. “We start to accept things in celebrities or leaders that frankly things we wouldn’t have accepted even a generation ago. And that’s our problem.”
