Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's defence secretary, is facing harsh online criticism after a Guardian report on military personnel cuts. Detractors call him an 'empty suit' and accuse him of war crimes, with some expressing astonishment that he has not faced more internal opposition from within the armed forces. Supporters have not been quoted in the discussion. The coverage highlights deep polarisation around his leadership of the Pentagon.
Why now: New reporting on military personnel cuts under Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has reignited fierce criticism of his leadership.
