Pete Hegseth refuses to meet with bearded soldiers in South Korea

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth won’t meet with any “beardos” serving in South Korea.

Service members stationed in the Pacific recently received notice that enlistees with shaving waivers will not be allowed to attend Hegseth’s upcoming Camp Humphreys rally, according to military site Task & Purpose.

The former Fox News host arrived in Hawaii on Monday for a trip that will later take him to Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam. Korean station KBS World Radio said Hegseth is scheduled to spend two days in South Korea beginning next Monday.
