Mark Kelly, the senator from Arizona, explicitly criticized Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, and attacked the leadership changes at the Pentagon. Kelly, a retired Navy captain, blamed Hegseth for his approaches to militarism during a television program on Tuesday.
Criticism of Hegseth's militaristic approach
In the program, Kelly described Hegseth as "a man who runs around the scene shouting about killing people and maximum lethality and testosterone." These criticisms clearly reflect Kelly's concerns about the current approach of the Department of Defense and its impact on the U.S. military.

Challenges facing the Department of Defense
Kelly's criticisms regarding the leadership changes at the Pentagon have arisen especially after recent events in military and political arenas. Many experts believe that changes in leadership could weaken the military capabilities of the United States. Kelly particularly emphasized that there is no need for an increase in testosterone in military leadership and that focus should be on more effective and humane strategies.
Kelly's views may reflect broader concerns among some members of Congress and the military community who are worried about the impact of militaristic approaches on U.S. defense and national security policies. At the same time, these criticisms could pave the way for further discussions about the need for changes in U.S. defense and military policies.
