Hegseth can do better but the America Last cabal hates American success and Hegseth isn't Lloyd Austin and Trump isn't the dementia patient. So rather than dismally fail to meet recruiting goals now we are exceeding them. When the people at the top don't inspire respect you get shitty people at the bottom.

Military Recruitment Numbers Are Breaking Records Under Trump and HegsethHere’s something that will infuriate the left.
Under President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the U.S. military has seen an extraordinary surge in recruitment, reflecting a renewed sense of pride and purpose. Data shared on Fox News' “Fox & Friends” reveals that the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Space Force have far exceeded recruitment goals, driven by the administration’s focus on restoring military strength.
Host Brian Kilmeade highlighted the figures.
"The Army, Air Force, and Marines—you are up 108% in November, 119% in February, 108% after the election, 105% with the Navy, with the Marines up 112%, and 100%. They are through the roof. The US Air Force, 100% of its goal. Same thing in February, and Space Force is also booming, over 100%." These numbers signal a significant enlistment boom.
“I think the war fighters are happy to have a war fighter up top,” Kilmeade observed. “Mr. Secretary, with all this controversy, everything swirling around, have you ever doubted your decision to take this job?”
“Oh, not for a minute. I didn't hesitate when the president asked me, and I haven't hesitated for a moment because those numbers are a reflection of why we're here,” Hegseth replied. “We call it the Trump bump internally. The reality is, when war fighting and lethality is brought back, and it's serious that what we're doing here is serious about getting after soldiering and war fighting, the American people wanna come back in.”
Hegseth emphasized the public’s response: "They wanna sign up. These recruiting numbers don't surprise me. They don't surprise me one bit. They're a reflection of a yearning from the American public of young people to be proud of their country, to be proud of their military." He underscored the administration’s commitment to equipping troops, stating, "That's why we've, I've fought for the budget that the Defense Department requires. And the president said we'll have our first trillion-dollar budget."

@AOG and @HHusky - Fuck off!
The Chickenhawk Warmongers hate Hegseth because he has actually been in conflicts and knows the costs,l.
The Left hate him because he’s a straight white male who supports Trump, and he doesn’t have men in skirts or wearing dog masks in leadership positions.
It's not rocket science to see why he's target 1
Internet tough superiority guy
Says the internet wuss and intellectual inferiority guy. AOG yearns for some more tough Lloyd Austin inspiration. Did wonders for recruiting.
Not limited to the interwebs, "fren".
Fuck off.
About f'ing time.

Pete Hegseth fired Benghazi cover-up architect Susan Rice. As well as all the other leftists bitterly clinging to power in the DOD.
Why the hell was she still on "advisory boards" with access to Pentagon officials?
You probably know that when the White House began investigating the leaks of top-secret information to leftwing "news" outlets, one group of suspected culprits were all the Obama/Biden appointees hanging on to "advisory" board positions.
They've now all been fired. Thank goodness.
