One of the officers anonymously said that the content of the speech disappointed her. She expected that the head of the Pentagon would focus on improving the American strategy, not on physical fitness. “I would expect such things from a captain or major,” she said.
One of the defense officials, in turn, said that HegeSetha's words caused “anxiety”. Another interlocutor “The Atlantic” stated that the theses of the head of Pentagon would probably meet with a positive reception.
