Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced backlash and mockery Thursday over a speech about the war with Iran in which he railed against what he called the “dumb, politically correct wars of the past” and insisted the timeline of the U.S.-Israeli military operations is “ours and ours alone to control.”
“The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we’re doing here,” Hegseth boasted at a news conference in Tampa, adding that previous conflicts had “vague objectives with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement.”
He declared, “No more.”
Hegseth also bragged about the scale of U.S. military power involved in the conflict and said: “We set the tempo. We set the timeline,” a line that some social media users suggested meant Americans were being dragged into yet another forever war.

Our authorities are maxed out. Our capabilities are overwhelming and gathering still, as are… pic.twitter.com/cGNhdBBrlg

It's starting to look like South Park's portrayal of him was a lot more nuanced and subtle than we thought.
— set las mon (@rare_form) March 5, 2026Wait.. which wars are politically correct?
— Ryan James Woods (@RyanJamesWoods1) March 5, 2026Ah, the art of empty sloganeering.
How much are we paying him for this?
Do they just attach "politically correct" now to anything they want to disparage? Because I've seen a number of wars in my lifetime - Falklands, Balkans, Gulf, Iraq, Gulf II, Afghanistan…
None of them were "politically correct".
Does he even listen to himself?

— Ms. Jones💙🇺🇸 I Dissent (@PenelopeKJones) March 5, 2026This Iran war doesn't have a vague objective? OK--what is the objective? So far there have been many objectives mentioned, none of which have made sense. Regime change? Yes say some; no say others.
— lobachevsky (@vladlobachevsk2) March 5, 2026So it IS a forever war.
— ChaosWitch🐸 (@TaurusWitch2010) March 5, 2026War and politically correct are oxymorons in the first place. 🙄
— Macy Buckner (@MacyBuckner) March 5, 2026What is a politically correct war
— ✌🏻a real piece of work 🆖 (@ngelfond) March 6, 2026He isn't capable of simply just stating what is going on and what the plan is -- no professionalism or solemnity whatsoever.
— Diana Rivera (@dianarivera481) March 5, 2026Vague objectives eh? We have had 7 different reasons for this war so far
