🇺🇸🎭 HEGSETH PRESSURED DOWNED F-15 CREW INTO 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW – One Refused

The US Secretary of War reportedly pushed two pilots shot down over Iran to appear on national television – raising questions about what the Pentagon is trying to control.

· 🎙️ Hegseth pushed both crew members of the downed F-15 to do a 60 Minutes interview.

· 🤝 He met with them privately to ask whether they wanted to participate voluntarily – or would need to be ordered to cooperate.

· 🧠 Why does Hegseth want this interview so badly? When a Secretary of War personally pressures pilots to go on TV, the story is not about them – it's about the narrative.
· 🛡️ The F-15 was shot down over Iran – the first US manned aircraft lost to Iranian fire. The Pentagon wants to control how that story is told.
