US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth has begun his “Send Me Tour” in Texas, launching the military outreach effort as his net favourability has fallen to a record low of minus 24 points amid growing public frustration over the Iran war.
Hegseth invoked the biblical words, “Whom shall I send?”, referring to the declaration in Isaiah: “Here am I. Send me.”
The tour comes as criticism linked to the Iran war continues to weigh on the US defence secretary’s public standing. His net favourability has reached its lowest recorded level, at minus 24 points.
