Battleships, boot camps and 'the enemy within': Trump and Hegseth's war on the US military

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump delivered
extraordinary speeches to top military generals this week,
declaring a war on the "enemy within" and signaling a radical
transformation of the US armed forces.


To decode what it all means, Roland Oliphant speaks with Mark
Cancian, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies and a former Marine Corps colonel. Are
American soldiers lazier than before? Is there any chance the US
Navy will start building battleships again? And how significant
is Trump's call for cities to be used as "training grounds"?


They also discuss the ongoing redrafting of the National Defense
Strategy and what it means for America's allies and enemies.
