On Sunday evening, meanwhile, the Department of Defense dropped its own video to honor Memorial Day, and it too is awesome. Titled “Peace Through Strength” and narrated by DoD Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump, it reminds us of what the military is for, how it lost its way in recent American history—and how Donald Trump and Co. are restoring it to its former glory.
It’s time to focus on the mission, the video said:
Declaring that America’s fighting men and women are “laser-focused on our mission,” the spot shows service members taking part in intense training drills and battlefield combat while dramatic music swells and excerpts from speeches delivered by Trump and Hegseth play in the background.
“No more distraction, no more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, no more climate change worship. We are laser-focused on our mission of warfighting,” the defense secretary proclaims.
Trump then declares that the US will measure military success “not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars we end.”
