Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t like the way Secretary of War Pete Hegseth chose to honor two fallen service members.
On Saturday, CENTCOM released a statement about two United States service members who lost their lives in Jordan during the ongoing conflict with Iran. They added that four others “were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals” and have since been discharged.
Hegseth shared the statement:
Godspeed, heroes.
Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve. https://t.co/GIcfNdAol0

“Godspeed, heroes. Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve,” he wrote.
This prompted a profane outburst from the former lawmaker:
Sacrifice?? What the fuck are you talking about??
They did not willingly sacrifice themselves.
They were killed because of the war you, Trump, and the admin, are waging on behalf of a FOREIGN COUNTRY, Israel.
You mean their deaths fuel your bloodlust for a senseless war. https://t.co/A0PhmLvHzx

“Sacrifice?? What the f**k are you talking about?? They did not willingly sacrifice themselves. They were killed because of the war you, Trump, and the admin, are waging on behalf of a FOREIGN COUNTRY, Israel. You mean their deaths fuel your bloodlust for a senseless war,” she said.
X users had mixed reviews of Greene’s outrage:
You were in only one of a few positions in the entire world that could influence and potentially put a stop to the conflict and you quit. Straight up. So shut the fuck up

When this is set and done, Pete Hegseth should be charged for war crimes.

Come to congress for a couple years, scam the people of millions of dollars, then pretend you care about America. No thanks.

I can’t imagine being this stupid.
As a vet, I can tell you that when you sign your name on the line to enlist / commission, you are giving the military permission to put you in harms way. Part of the gig.
Idiot.
