White House Deletes Video With Bizarre Stolen Valor Claim

[Guno צְבִי]

The White House’s X account deleted a promotional video that falsely claimed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth received “the Bronze Star Medal for valor.”

The Hegseth video came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that gave the Department of Defense the secondary title of “Department of War.” To celebrate the change, the White House posted a video boasting about Hegseth’s military record, calling him “an officer in the United States Army National Guard. A veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. Recipient of the Bronze Star medal for valor. A warrior. A leader. And a patriot.”

The video was taken down as soon as journalists debunked the claim that Hegseth had received the Bronze Star Medal for valor. Hegseth did receive two Bronze Star medals during his service—not for valor but for meritorious service, according to Associated Press journalist Konstantin Toropin.

My uncle received the Bronze Star for his valor during the Battle of the Bulge. Hegseth wouldn't make a wart on his big toe.

Stolen Valor is when someone makes a false claim about themselves.....not when idiots write an X post not knowing what they are talking about.

The first Bronze Star was awarded to Mr. Hegseth for his assignment in Iraq as a rifle platoon leader in Iraq from September 2005 to July 2006. The citation noted his “professionalism and commitment to excellence” while he was with the 101st Airborne Division. He received the second Bronze Star in 2012 after serving as a counterinsurgency instructor in Afghanistan.

I see an imagination forming.

Written by staffers who know nothing about the military to be sure.

This is not stolen valor.
