Hegseth directs military on election duties
Original: Hegseth directs military on elections
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a directive to the US military concerning elections, drawing attention to the role of armed forces in domestic electoral matters. Critics are questioning the legal basis for military involvement in elections, while supporters see it as a security measure. The move has reignited debate over civil-military boundaries in the United States.
Why now: Concerns that the Pentagon under Hegseth is expanding the military's role in domestic politics and elections.
