US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in an address to hundreds of generals and admirals on Tuesday that there should be no more “politically correct” rules of engagement for the US military as he presented his recently rebranded Department of War as a ruthless force that can produce overwhelming violence. War is something you do sparingly,” Hegseth told the crowd of senior officers at the US Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia. We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement.
