The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

I mean, they got the other guy to admit that he killed him in the last day of trial.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

You didn't even kill the ISIS fighter.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

So it's Eddie Gallagher or Clint Lawrence or...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

the Raven 23 guys who you've had on the show.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

A couple of them didn't even pull the trigger in the actual incident.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

Matt Goldstein's the other one I'm thinking of, a Green Beret.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

So yeah, I mean, chapter 10 and 11 are more lethality, less lawyers, and the laws of war for winners, talking about exactly this.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

And this is why I was proud to be a part of, in a small way, behind the scenes,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

Like we sent them to do these really dangerous, dirty, difficult things that no one else would do.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

And then sort of like the line from A Few Good Men, and then we challenged the manner in which they do it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

And even when they do it in a way we may not like or maybe people don't understand, rather than giving them deference or having their back or finding a way to support them, we throw them under the bus.

The Shawn Ryan Show

And the Raven 23 is one of the most egregious examples of that because it was politically expedient for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to do that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

It was a gift to the Maliki government because of the publicity that had come out because of it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

And so you have a Pentagon that starts to be complicit with that way of thinking, and it's all about advancement and covering up problems, and they don't have the backs of guys.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

Loose of engagement are a huge problem, as you know.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

That's another one.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

It's a big one.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

That's why I say the rules of war for winners, because why are we fighting an enemy?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#143 Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense Nominee

Why have we spent the last 20 years fighting enemies that don't abide by rules at all?
