On the eve of Veterans Day, House Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie tried to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and the House voted 211–204 to send the resolution to committee.

Susan Kokinda shows why they want him gone: as Secretary of State Marco Rubio put it in Paris, “We work for America. We don’t work for the global order.”

Hegseth reminds us what that global order has cost: tens of thousands of Americans killed in Korea and Vietnam, and thousands more in the Middle East wars.

Two former Secretaries of State, Mike Pompeo and Antony Blinken, shared a stage and offered only more war or the status quo on Iran. President Trump chose a third way: a blockade backed by the Gulf states, with the region’s nations, like Saudi Arabia and Syria, starting to build their own security and rebuild.
