Embattled defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth began his second week of confirmation battles bolstered by a strong endorsement from dozens of military veterans and service members,<\/p>\n

The endorsement, presented as a \u201cstatement of support\u201d from the \u201csoldiers who served with Pete Hegseth,\u201d was released Monday. The letter highlights the qualities of the Hegseth they knew and served alongside in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other forward operating bases around the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe come from all ranks and different experiences, but have one core thing in common: we FULLY support Pete Hegseth\u2019s nomination to be the next Secretary of Defense,\u201d the group wrote.<\/p>\n
