Rep. Adam Smith Eviscerates Pete Hegseth's Military Strategy - Reflect Politics



Watch Democratic Ranking Member Rep. Adam Smith deliver a blistering opening statement at the House Armed Services Committee, dismantling Pete Hegseth’s so-called “military strategy” as completely "absurd." Smith breaks down why Hegseth’s vision for U.S. defense policy ignores real-world threats, military logistics, and global strategy.

This tense exchange highlights the growing divide over national security priorities, defense spending, and America’s role on the world stage.
