The War on Warriors: Is the Military Still Worth Fighting For?

Fox News' Pete Hegseth examines the decline of the military in his latest book, "The War on Warriors." He questions whether the military is still worthy of service, given its "upside-down priorities" and "woke" culture.

"The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free" is Fox News Books' latest title. It's written by Pete Hegseth, a former Army Ranger and a current host on Fox News.

In the book, Hegseth argues that the military has been captured by "leftist forces" that have changed its priorities and culture. These changes, he says, make it difficult for him to recommend military service to his sons.

"The military I joined in 2001 is not the military of today," Hegseth writes. "It has been captured by leftist forces that have captured the rest of our culture."

Hegseth cites a number of examples of what he sees as the military's decline. He mentions the Pentagon's focus on social issues, such as transgender rights and diversity training. He also criticizes the military's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"We have turned our back on God, and on our founding principles," Hegseth writes. "We have lost our way."

Hegseth believes that the military is at a crossroads. He says that it is up to his generation to fight for a change in leadership. He also encourages his sons to consider serving in the military, despite his concerns.

"If not me, then who?" Hegseth asks. "If not Gunner, Jackson, Boone, Luke, or Rex Hegseth — who is going to protect America?"

Hegseth's book has been praised by some conservatives, who share his concerns about the direction of the military. However, it has also been criticized by some liberals, who say that Hegseth is exaggerating the problems within the military.

Despite the controversy, Hegseth's book has sparked a debate about the future of the military. It is a debate that is likely to continue for some time.

In the meantime, Hegseth says that he is hopeful that the military can be turned around. He says that he believes in the power of the American people to make a difference.

"My opinion may change in four years, when my oldest turns 18," Hegseth writes. "But I hope not. The freedom of America has always been purchased by the courage, sacrifice, and blood of young American men willing to step up. We will always need it."
