Pete Hegseth's Nobel Peace Prize Suggestion
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth proposed the U.S. military as a perpetual winner for the Nobel Peace Prize.
“For 251 years, americans have raised their right hand and said, 'send me. send me to fight the redcoats. send me to fight the nazis. send me to fight the communists. send me to fight the islamists.'”
Hegseth's Military Peace Argument
Hegseth claims the U.S. military ensures global peace through strength, making it the ideal Nobel Peace Prize winner.
“Because you're actually in the peacemaking business, i once made a video that said if there's one entity that should win the nobel peace prize every single year, it should actually be the united states military.”
Hegseth's PragerU Video Reference
Hegseth referenced a 2019 PragerU video where he argued the U.S. military should win the Nobel Peace Prize annually.
“If the nobel peace prize was given out to people who truly made the world a more peaceful place, one group would win every year: the united states military, the u.s. army, air force, navy, and marines.”
Hegseth's Department of War Comment
Hegseth said changing the Department of Defense to the Department of War shows his pursuit of peace through strength.
“Well, that’s the pursuit. It’s a great question, actually. You go from defense to war because you want to be proactive about peace through strength.”
