Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivered some great news and is giving President Trump the credit.

While briefing Trump about skyrocketing military recruitment, he said the reenlistment numbers for the Marines “already met its year-long goal” for 2026 – in just two weeks!

He praised the commander-in-chief for the rise of morale within military ranks.

“There’s no other way to create that kind of love and enthusiasm without your leadership, sir,” Hegseth said.

So awesome.

Pete is humble.. He, himself created a lot of excitement. Another right person in the right job!
