And will you fight for them when we're gone?

And so it's a little bit more tricky to spot.

So I think I would say to your answer, I haven't seen a lot of it, but I haven't seen a lot of it because they're good at not showing it.

So my interactions have been, and I've said this on record, off record, on background, I have, Secretary Hegseth has been, I think, an unconventional pick deliberately from the president.

And I don't claim to be nearly as good as Secretary Hegseth, but unconventional, too.

And when he gets up in front of soldiers, airmen, Marines, I mean, they are so fired up under his leadership.

that you can feel it, you can sense it.

Like, it is just one of these human things where I think you have a, you can't fake that kind of stuff.

They're proud to be there.

They're proud to be there.

They love him as their leader.

They're proud to serve under him and under the president.

And so from my perspective, I haven't seen it in any meeting.

I haven't heard any soldiers say it.

I've heard nothing but glowing rave reviews.

So I went down to basic training maybe a month and a half ago at this point at Fort Jackson, where I had gone and got to go on some rotations or do some lanes with these men and women who were three to five weeks into their time in the Army.

And other than just noticing how old I've gotten when I contrasted myself with their youthfulness, it was remarkable to me some of the things they were teaching their cadre.

And by that, what I mean specifically is we had started putting up drones on their lanes to show them what do they look like from the sky?

How do they conceal themselves from these drones?
