Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wasted no time before getting to work under the Trump administration.
44% : Hegseth told reporters they could expect a flurry of executive orders from Trump regarding the U.S. military -- one that could launch ballistic missiles out of the sky with an accuracy rate of about 90 percent, according to an October launch when Iran fired 200 ballistic missiles at Israel.
31% : And as the Secretary of Defense, it's an honor to salute smartly, as I did as a junior officer and now as the Secretary of Defense, to ensure these orders are complied with rapidly and quickly."
