I'm not saying that Hegseth INVENTED the word, just that the way and frequency with which he uses it is very much like a 7yo child from the 80s wo thinks FIGHTERS of WARS are SO COOL and the ONLY thing the US military is there for.

No minister of defense or general of other countries that I know of uses it in that cringetastic way that's simultaneously warmongering and an expression of profound ignorance of the gigantic organization he's been put in charge of.
