Pete Hegseth's 3-Word Brutal Military Nickname Revealed -- Report

A report says Pete Hegseth has picked up a three-word military nickname, “No Tab Pete,” allegedly reflecting the lack of prestigious qualification tabs on his uniform, such as Ranger and Sapper. The label reportedly emerged during a gathering of elite Army heroes, where admiration for decorated commanders contrasted with some senior officers’ views of the secretary. The issue gained wider traction after Gen. Christopher Donahue’s retirement ceremony at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. According to the report, Hegseth’s nickname received little attention until a dinner afterward. The reporting also cites Hegseth’s push for stricter physical standards and references multiple senior exits during his first 20 months as secretary.
