Yes or No: Jacky Rosen Confronts Pete Hegseth on Veterans and NATO

#SenateHearing #Veterans #NATO In this tense Senate exchange, Sen. Jacky Rosen confronts Pete Hegseth over his past remarks on veterans’ benefits, veteran service organizations (VSOs), and his views on NATO, Ukraine, and America’s global leadership. Rosen presses Hegseth to clarify whether he believes veterans who seek VA benefits are “dependent on government assistance” or simply receiving benefits they have earned through service. Repeatedly demanding yes-or-no answers, Rosen highlights concerns about shifting rhetoric and the impact such statements have on veteran morale, recruitment, retention, and suicide prevention. The exchange then broadens to U.S. national security and foreign policy, as Rosen challenges Hegseth’s past characterization of NATO as a “relic” and questions whether an “America First” approach risks isolating the United States from key allies. Citing the National Defense Strategy, Rosen warns that the U.S. cannot deter or defeat coordinated adversaries like China and Russia without strong alliances. Rosen also presses Hegseth on Ukraine, questioning claims that the war can be rapidly ended without making dangerous concessions to Vladimir Putin, and warning that appeasement would undermine U.S. credibility and embolden authoritarian regimes worldwide. The exchange underscores broader concerns about consistency, credibility, and leadership judgment in matters affecting veterans, alliances, and global stability.
