Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : "In opening statements introducing Hegseth, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) commended Trump on his choice, arguing that it was a benefit -- not a drawback -- that the nominee would bring the experience of having been on the front lines in a lower rank.
64% : ""People see me as someone who hosts a morning show on television -- but people that really know me know where my heart is at," Hegseth pointed out, recalling his days on deployment with friends in the "darkest and most difficult places you could ever be in."
61% : There's already been a surge, since President Trump won the election, of recruiting the Army's interests.
44% : "When President Trump chose me for this position, the primary charge he gave me was -- to bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense," Hegseth said in his opening statement.
35% : Hegseth told senators that Trump chose him because the president-elect believed it was time to appoint a defense secretary "with dust on his boots.""As President Trump also told me, we've repeatedly placed people atop the Pentagon with supposedly 'the right credentials' -- whether they are retired generals, academics or defense contractor executives -- and where has it gotten us?"
23% : Hegseth also committed to providing "accountability" for the Biden administration's failures -- including the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and forced COVID-19 vaccinations, vowing to reinstate the 8,000 troops kicked out of their service branches for refusing to take the COVID jab.
