Crow Questions Hegseth on Apolitical Leadership and Military Distinctions in Hearing

Jul 18, 2026

The clip shows Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), an Army Ranger veteran, questioning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, also a veteran, during a hearing. Crow references their shared platoon leadership experience, asks about discussing political affiliations, COIN training in Afghanistan 2011-2012, and contrasts it with a played clip of Hegseth's statements to probe whether the US military differs from adversaries like ISIS. Hegseth affirms the military code, states that political affiliations were irrelevant in his unit, and explicitly says 'Of course, we're different.' The segment ends with Crow summarizing leadership principles on inclusion, civilian interaction, and moral distinction from the enemy.
