30-SECOND QUESTIONS
WHAT AM I
If you don’t know what to ask at your next town hall, feel free to use one of these questions below.
These questions are all being managed by one (1) person, so edit and correct them to your liking and make them your own.
Or, email me/ if you have a question idea you want to submit. I don’t always check my email, but I will try!
Question 1
Secretary Hegseth has barred military officers from Pentagon-sponsored graduate programs at some of America’s leading universities, calling them “breeding grounds of toxic indoctrination” without presenting evidence. Why should one official’s political judgment restrict educational opportunities that strengthen military leadership, and will you demand objective academic standards rather than ideological loyalty tests for deciding where servicemembers may study?

Response received? Not yet.
Question 2
Pete Hegseth has argued that America should fight wars by its own rules rather than be constrained by the Geneva Conventions. He has promised no “stupid rules of engagement,” while the administration has portrayed military lawyers who enforce the law as potential roadblocks and dismantled programs designed to prevent civilian casualties. What exactly do these actions mean for compliance with the laws of war, and will you hold Secretary Hegseth accountable if he orders or enables illegal conduct?
