Pentagon dad bragging about punching enemies while down

A screenshot of a tweet by @Acyn showing a news clip from MSNBC's Morning Joe. The video shows a man in a dark suit at the Pentagon speaking into a microphone with American and another flag behind him, captioned as a 'Breaking News' briefing about an Iran War. The tweet quotes aggressive military rhetoric about aerial bombardment and rules of engagement.

Hegseth: Flying over their capital. Death and destruction from the sky all day long. We're playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the president and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be.
