The nomination of Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary has left many wondering how his experience compares to people who have previously served.

Hegseth, who has been a co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend” for the better part of a decade, has used the show to highlight his views about the US military. He has railed against the Pentagon’s adoption of “social justice” messages and argued that “woke” policies have hurt military recruitment.
