Episode: What Next | The War Over Pete Hegseth
Description: Despite being perhaps the least experienced person to ever hold his position, Pete Hegseth has set about dramatically reforming the Department of Defense to Donald Trump’s specifications—which seem to have less to do with creating a more effective fighting force, and more to do with window dressing.
Guest: Tom Bowman, Pentagon reporter for NPR.
