Trump's Pentagon pick comes under fire at Senate hearing
Hindustan Times Haryana
|January 15, 2025
President-elect Donald Trump's process to get his nominees confirmed began on a stormy note with Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) slamming his pick as the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, about his personal conduct, views on women in combat, racist comments, alcohol abuse, lack of experience, support for war criminals, partisanship, and poor record of management.
WASHINGTON:
Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor and veteran, attributed the allegations to a "smear campaign" by the "Left-wing media" because he was a "change agent," claimed his "redemption" was real, and defined his agenda as defending the homeland, countering China in the Indo-Pacific, ending wars and modernizing the US military.
He also expressed both support for the Geneva conventions but also said, repeatedly, that rules of warfighting had changed and adversaries took advantage of US abiding by rules—indicating a deeply ambivalent attitude to laws of war and leaving open ended the issue of whether under him the US military will abide by international law.

Ignored Sarfaraz to not move up the batting order
Gearing up for a fresh Ranji season with an eye on bigger personal honours is what Sarfaraz Khan has done a lot of. Being constantly on the waiting list is also something he's learned to deal with. It may have led to frustration, but it never broke him. To lose favour after making it to the elite level can be deflating though and will test the resilience of the middle-order batter.
