Once again, the pampered celebrities of daytime television have decided they understand military operations better than the combat veterans actually running them. From their comfortable studio chairs in Manhattan, far from any battlefield or military base, these armchair generals are now lecturing America about war crimes and military law.
The latest target of their uninformed attacks is Pete Hegseth, the decorated combat veteran serving as War Secretary, who apparently committed the unforgivable sin of actually understanding how military operations work. What makes this particular attack even more outrageous is that the accusers openly admitted they have no idea what they’re talking about—right before making accusations that could undermine our troops’ morale and national security.
From ‘The View’:
“I can’t speak to the law of it, I’m not a geopolitical expert, but in terms of the law of it, you’re right, Sara, that is why those Army vets explained do not follow — you do not have to follow illegal orders,” Sunny Hostin said. “You know why? Because if this is deemed to have been war crimes, which by all accounts right now there are seven sources that said Pete Hegseth did say ‘kill them all,’ even after there were two survivors.”
Whoopi Goldberg then declared: “Well, what he has done is he’s set them up. He has set them up.”
The View wants American service members put in prison.
Admitting their speaking about something they're totally ignorant about, The View accuses War Secretary Pete Hegseth of a setting up soldiers to be charged for war crimes:

When Celebrities Play Military Expert
Hostin literally says she “can’t speak to the law” and isn’t a “geopolitical expert,” then proceeds to accuse an American war hero of ordering war crimes. (Yes, she really said this on national television.) This is like someone saying “I don’t understand medicine” before diagnosing your heart condition. The audacity here is almost impressive—almost.
Goldberg, whose military experience consists of playing a lounge singer in a USO show on screen (spoiler alert: that’s not actual service), has now declared that Secretary Hegseth—a Bronze Star recipient who actually led troops in combat—is setting up American soldiers for prosecution. The woman who once defended Roman Polanski is now a sudden expert on the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Apparently, a Bronze Star means nothing compared to a daytime Emmy.
The Real Cost of Ignorant Commentary
What these Hollywood millionaires don’t understand is that their reckless accusations have real consequences. When they spread these lies from their influential platform, they’re not just attacking one decorated veteran—they’re undermining the entire chain of command that keeps our military functioning and our nation safe. But hey, why let pesky things like facts get in the way of a good segment?
Our service members need to know their leaders have their backs. They need confidence that their commanders understand both the mission and the law. Pete Hegseth earned that trust through years of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, leading soldiers in actual combat operations where real lives were on the line—not rehearsed lines.
Meanwhile, The View hosts earned their positions by… what exactly? Reading cue cards? Peddling tabloid drama? (Here’s a hint: it involves zero combat experience.) Their combined military experience wouldn’t qualify them to fold uniforms at a base laundry, yet they feel qualified to accuse our military leaders of war crimes.
Supporting Those Who Serve
The truth is simple: when forced to choose between the military judgment of combat veterans and the manufactured outrage of daytime TV hosts, real Americans know which side to take. We trust the warriors who’ve actually worn the uniform, not the celebrities who wear designer clothes while attacking them.
This isn’t just about defending Pete Hegseth—it’s about defending the principle that military decisions should be made by military experts, not by entertainers who openly admit they don’t understand the subject. Our troops deserve better than to have their missions second-guessed by people whose biggest battle is fighting for ratings. It’s time for The View to stick to celebrity gossip and leave military matters to those who’ve actually served.
Key Takeaways
- The View hosts admitted ignorance before accusing Secretary Hegseth of war crimes
- Millionaire celebrities are undermining military morale from Manhattan studios
- Combat veterans deserve better than theatrical accusations from daytime TV
- Americans trust warriors who’ve served, not entertainers seeking ratings
