In his final speech in 1962, Five-Star General of Armies Douglas MacArthur spoke to an assembled audience of cadets, active officers, and senior civilians about the necessity of having a military that was prepared to defend the republic, detached from the politics of the day, and who lived by the credo words “Duty, Honor, Country.” General MacArthur, who served and led in the Army for over 50 years, issued a somber warning that rings true to this day:
These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a tenfold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country. You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense.

America needs someone to bring both a traditional and dynamic style of leadership to the Pentagon and to the armed forces. Pete Hegseth is that someone.
For the better part of 250 years, the American military was a politically agnostic entity. At times, our military would be filled with draftees, and at other times, it would be filled with small groups of volunteers. During conflicts, the government would call its sons to duty to defend the republic. Those sons would be sent home after the wars and after the peace was secure. […]
