Pete Hegseth almost falls over LAUGHING at a reporter who took issue with him saying "our boys" in reference to the B-2 pilots (instead of being 'inclusive') "Why didn't you acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission. The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys." HEGSETH: "So when I say something like our boys in bombers - see, this is the kind of thing the press does, right? Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. That's fantastic. She's fantastic. She's a hero." "When you spin it as because I say 'our boys in bombers' as a common phrase - I'll keep saying things like that. Whether they're men or women, very proud of that female pilot, just like I'm very proud of those male pilots." "And I don't care if it's a male or a female in that cockpit, and the American people don't care. But it's the obsession with race and gender in this department that's changed priorities." "We don't do that anymore. We don't play your little games." 💯 @PeteHegseth  XXXXXXXXX engagements  [Post Link](https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1938217439122121186)
