| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about Heggseth, Metals, Warriors, and a random civilian. |
| 0:13.0 | So, we've gotten a lot of questions about a couple of different things dealing with HegSeth. |
| 0:19.0 | We're just going to go over all of them |
| 0:21.6 | together, so we don't have a massive amount of Hegg Seth news. The three items involve a social |
| 0:28.3 | media post of his, old Mendels of Honor, and of course, more questions about his meeting |
| 0:34.3 | with all of the generals. First is, quote, |
| 0:38.8 | Why is the highest ranking military officer in the U.S.? |
| 0:42.7 | Quote tweeting random civilians, |
| 0:45.3 | talking about the meeting, and comparing it to World War II? |
| 0:49.7 | This has to do with Hegeseth reposting a post |

| 1:21.9 | random civilian. I know he just goes by Ben on his social media, but that's retired General Ben Hodges. |
| 1:30.3 | To get an idea of his influence, Hodges is an incredibly common last name. If you type General |
| 1:37.1 | Hodges into Google, it defaults to him. He joined in 1980 and left in 2018. So the interaction isn't that strange. I'm pretty sure |
| 1:48.0 | Hegg Seth was being dismissive of any comparison between his upcoming meeting with U.S. |
| 1:53.5 | generals and the one in the 30s. Now, on to the Medal of Honor story. And I went over this on the Rhodes episode on the |
| 2:02.7 | second channel, but just to get a bit about it out here too. Heggseth announced soldiers who |
| 2:09.6 | were awarded the Medal of Honor for Wounded Knee would keep it. First, if you don't know the |
