Congressman Pat Ryan — a West Point grad and combat veteran — confronts Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over alarming reports that soldiers at Fort Bragg were pressured to show political loyalty before participating in a presidential event. Ryan calls this a direct threat to the apolitical foundation of the U.S. military — and tells Hegseth point-blank: “You should resign.”
In this Liberal Lens breakdown, we go deeper into why this moment matters, why a politicized military is a red flag in every democracy, and why these loyalty-test controversies must be taken seriously.
If you care about truth, institutions, and protecting democracy from political overreach, this is a must-watch.
