Hegseth reveals covert visit to troops fighting in Operation Epic Fury

War Secretary Pete Hegseth opened a Pentagon news conference Tuesday detailing a covert visit to troops fighting in Operation Epic Fury, noting America's service men and women are ramping up "wartime speed" and the only thing they need to see from U.S. leadership is "more bombs."

"To a man and to a woman on the ground, in the air, on the flight line, and in the TOC [technical operations center] I heard, ‘We want everything faster, higher up-tempo, wartime, speed,’" Hegseth said, detailing how the U.S. leadership "walked up at sunset with the chill in the air on the flight line."

Hegseth recounted his "firsthand" visits with American troops in live action "theater" at CENTCOM in the Middle East, hailing the "American warrior unleashed" behind President Donald Trump's objective to ensure Iran "will never have a nuclear weapon."
