Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes War Secretary Pete Hegseth Over Remarks on Fallen Troops

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., strongly criticized War Secretary Pete Hegseth for his comments regarding fallen U.S. service members in the ongoing conflict with Iran. Hegseth’s post on social media, emphasizing the resolve stiffened by their sacrifice, drew Greene’s ire.

Greene reacted by questioning the notion of sacrifice, attributing the deaths of American troops to a war she claims is waged on behalf of Israel, involving Hegseth, Trump, and the administration. She expressed her belief that their deaths only fuel a pointless conflict.

CENTCOM reported the deaths of two U.S. service members in Jordan during engagements against Iranian missile and drone attacks, also noting a missing service member. Greene shared the announcement, urging President Trump to withdraw troops and stop what she termed a ‘senseless America LAST war.’

An update from CENTCOM confirmed the recovery of unidentified remains in Jordan and noted another service member killed in Iraq during the controlled detonation of unexploded Iranian ordnance, with another wounded.

Greene and Trump had a falling out in the past year, leading to her resignation from Congress mid-term. The ongoing situation and her comments add to the discourse surrounding U.S. military involvement in the Middle East.
